Question

In a partnership where the profit-sharing ratio is different to the capital ratios, what is the ruling when new machinery is acquired?

Answer

If the new machinery is purchased from the wealth of the partnership, then the new machinery will be owned by the partners in proportion to their capital investment.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

(وإذا أراد الشركة بالعروض باع كل واحد منهما نصف ماله بنصف مال الآخر ثم عقد الشركة) قال رضي الله عنه (وهذه الشركة ملك) لما بينا أن العروض لا تصلح رأس مال الشركة وتأويله إذا كان قيمة متاعهما على السواء ولو كان بينهما تفاوت يبيع صاحب الأقل بقدر ما تثبت به الشركة (الهداية 2/629)

(وما اشتراه كل واحد منهما للشركة طولب بثمنه دون الآخر لما بينا) أنه يتضمن الوكالة دون الكفالة والوكيل هو الأصل في الحقوق (ثم يرجع على شريكه بحصته منه) معناه إذا أدى من مال نفسه لأنه وكيل من جهته في حصته فإذا نقد من مال نفسه رجع عليه (الهداية 2/630)
