The Hanbalis and a group of jurists permitted the partnership in which one of the partners works with the capital and receives more than the profit of his capital. Al-Ruhaibani, in "Maṭālib ʾUlī al-Nuhā," conveyed the permissibility of this, explaining that the excess amount taken by the working partner is in return for his work with another's capital.
