When Good Or Service Contributed Is Unrelated To Business
Can a musharakah be formed with one of the partners contributing a good or service unrelated to the business?
For a partner to form a valid partnership, the commodity he brings has to be directly related to the direct affairs of the business.

Three partners bring $1,000 each to set up a medical dispensary. A fourth partner agrees to spend $1,000 in fuel transporting the other three. This arrangement is invalid because the transportation, while helpful to the partners, is not a commodity related directly to the business of dispensing medicine.
