    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 830/818/N=10/1436) If he had kept the amount with his friend as a trust and the friend used it in the business without his permission then he did treachery and the amount became due on him and in such a case the profit shall not be pure for him he should give the profit in charity. And this profit shall not go to the owner of the amount as the amount was not invested in the business on his liability, he shall only be entitled to receive his capital amount. والمختار أنه لا يحل مطلقا كذا فى الملتقى و لو بعد الضمان هو الصحيح كما فى فتاوى النوازل (در مختار مع الشامى 9:277 مطبوعه: مكتبه زكريا ديوبند)’ و مع هذا لم يرتضه الشارح فأتى بما قيل لهما فى الهداية: قال مشايخنا: لا يطیب قبل أن يضمن وكذا بعد الضمان بكل حال وهو المختار لإطلاق الجواب فى الجامعين والمضاربة أي: كتاب المضاربة من المبسوط ، وانى على الدور ، قال الزيلعي: ووجھه أن بالنقد منه استفاد سلامة المشري وبالإشارة استفاد جواز العقد لتعلق العقد به في حق القدر والوصف فيثبت فيه شبهة الحرمة لملكه بسبب خبيث (شامى حواله بالا). And if the case is something else then write the complete detail and submit the query again.
