Business Partnerships
Who Bears Loss in Business Partnership in Islam?
If two people form a partnership, one of them contributing capital and the other contributing labour, then the financial loss is to be borne by the one who put money into it, and the worker loses his labour, unless there was some negligence on the worker’s part, in which case he also incurs financial loss. However, if both of them contribute capital to the project, then losses are to be borne commensurate with the share that each of them put into it.8,288Ruling on joint purchase of property with the bank, after which the bank sells its share to the customer on the basis of muraabahah (profit-sharing)

18,031Selling at the original price, and making maintenance and insurance the responsibility of the customer, in a diminishing-share partnership
In conclusion, it is not permissible to enter into the contract mentioned, because it involves two prohibited matters: 1. the promise to buy the share of the financial institution at its nominal value 2. making maintenance and insurance the responsibility of the customer. These two conditions undermine the partnership contract, so they end up being a trick aimed at earning riba through this financing, because the customer has to pay the financial institution more than he will take from it, under the heading of partnership and renting. And Allah knows best.5,266In the case of business partnerships, it is not stipulated that the shares invested by the partners or their shares of the profits should be equal
