The hand of both the mudarib (managing partner) and the shareek (partner) is a hand of trust (), so neither is liable for guaranteeing anything unless there is an act of transgression (ta'addi) or negligence (tafreeṭ).

As for losses in a capital partnership, they are borne by all partners proportionally to their capital contributions. However, in , the entire loss is borne by the capital provider, and the mudarib loses their effort.
