The death of one partner causes the termination of the partnership, but this does not prevent its continuation if the heirs agree to take the place of the deceased. Jurists have stipulated that a partnership is dissolved by the death of one partner, yet it continues for the remaining partners. It is permissible for the partnership to continue with the heirs of the deceased if they agree to it, a view held by jurists across multiple schools of thought.
