TYPES OPINION OF SCHOLARS APPLICATION

The term Mudharabah was widely known in the classical literature as Qiradh and muqharadhah. Both terms derived from the word qarada which means to cut off (al-qat). This is simply because the capital provider (rabb al-mal) need to cuts off some of his money to be utilized by the mudharib in business activities. Imam Nawawi says: A joint-stock company is called Qiradh or Mudharabah It exists between two persons, one of whom supplies fund to the other to trade with, on condition that the former has a share in the profit.
