What is the ruling of the Sharia on the exclusion of some of the company's founders who contributed to the success of the project but did not participate in the subsequent stages? Are they entitled to claim a percentage of the company or its profits, and how is this percentage estimated?
All team members are partners in the prize upon which the project was founded, and the team is not allowed to diminish the right of any individual to their share of this prize. Therefore, whoever was absent or preoccupied from participating in the efforts to invest in the project, must be compensated for their right to the capital (prize), or an agreement should be reached with them on a percentage of the profits commensurate with their share in the capital and the efforts of the other partners. The key here is mutual consent. If mutual consent is not achieved, then recourse must be made to the court.
