The answer

The jurists differed on the ruling concerning the contract of partnership. The majority held that it is a permissible (jā’iz) and non-binding (ghayr lāzim) contract, allowing either partner to dissolve it at will. The partnership also becomes void upon the death or insanity of one of the partners. The Malikis, however, disagreed, holding that it is a binding (lāzim) contract that continues until the capital matures or the agreed-upon work is completed. Accordingly, your companion may dissolve the partnership and refrain from working according to the view of the majority, but he may not do so according to the view of the Malikis. The judiciary arbitrates in disputes of this nature.
