What is the ruling if the worker dissolves the mudarabah before the profit appears?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : If the worker or the owner dissolves the mudarabah before the profit appears, the partner is not entitled to anything. The partner is the one to whom you give money to trade with, and he has a share of the profit. People call this trade.
Answer : Yes, you have pictured it. For example, I have ten thousand riyals, and I give them to a worker to work with them and trade in them, and I tell you, "Half of the profit is yours." This is called a mudarabah. I am a partner and he is a partner. If it is dissolved—this man was working in it, working in it, working in it, but it did not make a profit, so we dissolved it—does he get paid for his work? No, he does not get paid for his work, because he has a share of the profit, and the profit is obtained through his work. Since it did not happen, he has nothing.
