What is Mudarabah?

Mudarabah is a profit-sharing partnership where one party provides capital (Rabb-ul-Maal) and the other provides expertise and management (Mudarib).

Key Features of Mudarabah:

✅ Profit-sharing (pre-agreed ratio)
✅ Loss-bearing by the capital provider (unless negligence by Mudarib)
✅ No interest (Riba) involved
✅ Flexible for Islamic banks, mutual funds, and stock investments

Types of Mudarabah:

  1. Restricted Mudarabah – Investor specifies business type
  2. Unrestricted Mudarabah – Manager has full freedom

What is Musharakah?

Musharakah means joint venture partnership, where all parties contribute capital and share profits/losses proportionally.

Key Features of Musharakah:

✅ Joint ownership of assets
✅ Profit/loss shared as per capital ratio
✅ No fixed returns (interest-free)
✅ Used in business ventures, real estate, and stock trading

Types of Musharakah:

Mudarabah vs. Musharakah: Key Differences

  • Capital Contribution
    • Mudarabah: Capital is provided solely by the investor (Rabb-ul-Maal).
    • Musharakah: Capital is contributed by all partners involved in the partnership.
  • Management Role
    • Mudarabah: The Mudarib (entrepreneur) exclusively manages the business; the investor does not participate in management.
    • Musharakah: All partners can take part in managing the business.
  • Profit Sharing
    • Mudarabah: Profits are shared based on a pre-agreed ratio between the investor and the Mudarib.
    • Musharakah: Profits are distributed according to the proportion of each partner’s capital contribution, unless agreed otherwise.
  • Loss Bearing
    • Mudarabah: Only the investor bears the financial loss, provided there is no misconduct by the Mudarib.
    • Musharakah: All partners share the losses in proportion to their capital contributions.
  • Flexibility
    • Mudarabah: More passive for the investor, who does not engage in day-to-day operations.
    • Musharakah: Requires more active involvement from all partners, both in terms of capital and possibly management.
