What is the jurisprudential ruling on a supplier concealing his son-in-law's flaws from his partner, and refusing to provide the agreed-upon assistance after his son-in-law caused the partner to lose 50% of his capital, with the supplier claiming that assistance is only in terms of advice, and is it permissible to compensate the partner for his losses?

The resolution of disputes takes place in Sharia courts or by those acting on their behalf, due to their ability to hear parties, understand claims, evidence, and defenses, and issue judgments. The Mufti hears only from one party and cannot issue an accurate judgment in such cases.

We draw the questioner's attention to the fact that the supplier's relatives advised him, but he did not act on their advice. He could have dissolved the partnership or sued him for the profit percentage due to his negligence. The loss is borne by both partners, and they are entitled to the profit either in proportion to the capital or as per the agreement.

As for the supplier's promise, it was for absolute assistance, and some of it was rendered, as the questioner stated: "The supplier did not help us enough, and finally cut off the little supply."
