The answer

The transaction mentioned is a forbidden usurious loan, because the bank is obligated to return the amount with interest. Additionally, it contains commercial insurance based on (excessive uncertainty/risk). The legitimate formula for investment is for both the capital owner and the bank to have a common and specified share of the profit, without the bank guaranteeing the principal capital, because the losses are borne by the capital owners according to their shares.
