Should the liquidation losses of a company inherited by sisters, two of whom partially exited later with the entry of a new partner, be distributed among the partners according to each one's share at the time of liquidation, or by compensating those who did not exit to equalize what everyone received, even if that requires returning a portion of what was previously withdrawn?
Disputes are not resolved by a remote fatwa; rather, they must be referred to Sharia courts or discussed directly with scholars. Losses in a partnership are distributed among partners according to each one's capital. This is a matter upon which jurists have agreed, and there is no disagreement regarding it. As for a wife's management of her minor sister's money, if she is a guardian over her by a legitimate or judicial mandate, then her actions are valid. However, if she is not her guardian, then her management of her sister's money is legally void, and whatever resulted from it is cancelled. In this case, it is essential to litigate before a judge.
