Mudarabah refers to a partnership arrangement wherein one partner provides the funds whereas the other offers his skills for managing the business. The former is referred to as ‘rabb ul maal’ whereas the latter is known as ‘mudarib’. The profit generated from the business is shared by the partners as per the agreed ratios whereas any loss is completely borne by the rabb ul maal provided that there is no negligence, wilful misconduct or dishonesty on part of the mudarib.
