Muwatta 2014

Malik says of someone who gives money to a man for profit-sharing, part of which is lost before he works with it, then he works with it and makes a profit, and wants to make the capital the remainder of the money after the loss, before he worked with it: Malik said: his statement is not accepted; the capital is made whole from the profit. Then they divide what remains after the capital according to their agreed profit-sharing condition. ¹
