The answer

A happy marriage is based on a good relationship, affection, and mercy between the spouses. Divorce should only be resorted to when reconciliation becomes impossible. The husband must provide for his family, and he has the right to manage his money as long as the provision is maintained.

Partnership with two capitals and physical labor is permissible. Profit is due upon its emergence and becomes owned upon liquidation or valuation. Financial transactions should be documented and written down to ensure the precise shares of partners in capital, profit, and loss.
