The ruling on a husband taking his share from a partnership without his partner's knowledge
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says: My husband was a partner with another man in a commercial shop for three years. After that period, his partner denied him all his rights, and my husband had no documents. People intervened to reconcile them, but to no avail. So my husband took his share from the shop without his partner's knowledge, doing so at various intervals. Afterwards, my husband was dismissed from the work, and he intends to trade with this money, as there is no other source of income for me and my small children, as well as his parents and brothers. Will I be committing a sin if I accept what my husband did and live with him for the sake of my children, or should I ask for a divorce? I know that my husband is religious, and he says he has no other means except what he did to obtain his rights from that partner. Please issue a ruling on my matter, guide me, and guide my husband. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
This matter requires, it requires, an investigation of this reality: is it true or not? So your husband must ask the people of knowledge and present to them the reality without addition or omission, and he will find the sufficient answer, with Allah's permission. It is not permissible for him to remain silent about this matter until he asks the people of knowledge and explains to them the way in which this occurred with this man. Yes.
