Does the partnership of two parties with only two assets, which jurists did not mention in the chapter on partnerships, fall under any type of partnership? And is it included in a limited partnership (sharikat al-inan)?

A partnership where the capital comes from two owners, but the work is done by others, is a type of permissible (profit-sharing). As for two or more people sharing ownership of a specific asset without actively managing it, this is a partnership of ownership (Shirkat Amalak), not a partnership based on contracts (Shirkat Uqud). A contractual partnership with only capital and no work from anyone is inconceivable, because profit and growth cannot be achieved without effort.
