Does the company's setting of a minimum profit, which is subject to increase and below which it will not fall—because if it does, the company bears the difference on the pretext of its poor management—count as a fixed determination, and thus fall under usury? And is there anything wrong with the company obligating itself to purchase the production?
What you mentioned about this company guaranteeing a certain profit to the capital owner is a forbidden condition and invalidates the partnership contract, according to the consensus of scholars. Profit in partnerships must be a known percentage of the profit if it occurs, and the loss is borne by the partner in proportion to their capital. As for stating expected profits, there is no harm in that, but it is not permissible to guarantee them.
