Such financial disputes require a judge or an arbitrator to examine the details of the situation. We can clarify the general principle in two matters:

1. The capital owner has the right to revoke the Mudarabah contract, provided that the Mudarib is not harmed. Some scholars are of the view that the Mudarabah becomes binding once the Mudarib commences work, until actual or constructive liquidation.
