Responsibility Of The Working Partner
What is the responsibility of the working partner in a Mudarabah?
The working partner accepts the investment capital of the Mudarabah in the capacity of a trustee. Unless the capital is lost due to his negligence, he is not liable to replace it. Once the business commences, the working partner as agent conducts all business activities. The working partner assumes the status of an employee if the Mudarabah is rendered invalid. In such a case he is remunerated for his services for the period he has worked based on the going market rate. The working partner may assume partnership in a Mudarabah by making a capital contribution. His status as co-investor is independent of his role as the working partner. In case he ceases to be a working partner he remains an investor and vice versa.
