There are different types of investments:
1. Musharakah- This is a type of partnership where two or more partners invest money into a business and share the profit and loss of that business.
2. Mudarabah- This is a type of partnership where only one partner will invest the money while the others will carry out the work of that business. The former is known as ‘rabbul maal’ while the latter is known as the ‘mudarib’. All profit and loss in that business will be shared by the partners.
For further details on investing in a business, please see the attached contracts.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
