The answer

There is no harm in a Muslim partnering with a non-believer in business, provided that the company's dealings are monitored to avoid prohibited transactions. There is no sin upon the Muslim if their non-Muslim partners obtained their money from usurious loans, as the sin lies solely with the borrower. It is preferable for a Muslim not to partner except with Muslims who possess permissible wealth.
