The consideration is not the change in profit, but rather the reason for the profit, its manner, and its condition. If the saving system is based on a legitimate (profit-sharing) contract and the investment of the money is permissible, then it is allowed. However, if any condition of Mudarabah is violated, such as the company guaranteeing the capital, then it is not valid, regardless of whether the profit is known or variable.
