Q & A

What is Mudharabah?

Mudharabah is a business partnership contract in Islamic finance where one party provides the capital, and the other party manages the business. Profits are shared according to the agreement, while financial losses are borne solely by the capital provider unless caused by negligence from the manager.

What is the origin of the term 'Mudharabah'?

The term 'Mudharabah' comes from Arabic, where it is derived from the word 'at-ur-bul', meaning travel for trade, and 'al-khairat', meaning the act of sharing. This reflects the practice of providing capital for business ventures in exchange for a share of the profit.

What is the role of the capital provider in Mudharabah?

The capital provider, known as 'Shahibul Maal', supplies the capital for the business. They do not participate in the day-to-day management of the business but are entitled to a share of the profits as per the agreement.

What is the role of the business manager in Mudharabah?

The business manager, called 'Mudarib', is responsible for managing the business or trade. They use the capital provided by the Shahibul Maal to operate the business and are entitled to a share of the profits, while they bear the risk of loss related to their efforts.

How is profit shared in Mudharabah?

Profit is shared between the capital provider and the manager according to the pre-agreed ratio. The specific percentage of profit allocated to each party is agreed upon in the contract.

Who bears the loss in Mudharabah?

The capital provider bears the financial loss, while the business manager only bears the loss in terms of their effort and time. If the loss is due to negligence or violation of the agreement by the manager, they may be held responsible.

Can the capital provider specify a fixed return in Mudharabah?

No, the capital provider cannot specify a fixed return as it would resemble interest-based transactions, which are prohibited in Islam. The return is based on the actual profits generated, not a guaranteed amount.

What are the main conditions for Mudharabah to be valid?

Mudharabah is valid when both parties agree on the terms, especially the profit-sharing ratio. Additionally, the capital provider's funds should be used for permissible business activities, and there should be mutual trust between the parties.

What happens if there is negligence or intentional misconduct by the business manager?

If the business manager acts negligently or intentionally violates the terms of the agreement, they will bear the responsibility for the financial loss, rather than the capital provider.

What is the Islamic legal basis for Mudharabah?

Mudharabah is supported by the Qur'an, Sunnah, and the consensus of Islamic scholars. It is based on the principles of trust and mutual agreement, as illustrated by several verses in the Qur'an and hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
