Does the wife receive an equal share in the business partnership after divorce?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

If a married couple start a business together, and do equal work to build and maintain this business, but the husband divorces this wife, does she get an equal share?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Please clarify what is meant by “start a business together.” Whose money was used to start the business? Did both the spouses invest capital? If so, what was the agreement of the partnership?

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
