The partnership contract is one of the permissible contracts that are not binding. Therefore, any partner may terminate the contract whenever they wish, according to the majority of scholars. As for the Malikis, they restrict this to when the capital has matured or the agreed-upon work has been completed. Hence, there is no blame on the questioner for dissolving the partnership as long as no work has been commenced.
