As Salam Alaikum brother,
We are three partners in construction company. One of our partner cheated us took money from outsider as investment and start giving them profit without our knowledge and not a single rupees from outsider invest in our company.
We caught our partner and he apologize and accept all wrong thing he has done in our company.
Now the question is Investor asking there money back but we are saying you will get your money after deducting the profit which you have taken, As there money never ever invest in our company and partner who has cheated ready to sold his land to clear debth.
But investor refused to accept, they say profit is profit and they need whole amount back without deducting profit. They refer to some local ulema
Guide us correct way
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Brother in Islam,
If your partner took money from the outsider and did not invest the money in the construction business, then the partner is totally responsible for the money he took. He should repay the outsider the money he took. If the money given as profit was from the construction business, the partner will have to even repay that to the construction business. The construction company and the two partners are not responsible to pay the outsider anything.[i]
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

وَرُوِيَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ – عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ – أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «الْمُسْلِمُونَ عِنْدَ شُرُوطِهِمْ» فَظَاهِرُهُ يَقْتَضِي لُزُومَ الْوَفَاءِ بِكُلِّ شَرْطٍ إلَّا مَا خُصَّ بِدَلِيلٍ؛ لِأَنَّهُ يَقْتَضِي أَنْ يَكُونَ كُلُّ مُسْلِمٍ عِنْدَ شَرْطِهِ
