مضارب
Pronunciation: moo-DAH-rib
The managing partner in a Mudarabah — provides expertise and labor rather than capital.
Definition
The managing partner or entrepreneur in a Mudarabah partnership. The mudarib contributes expertise, time, and management skill rather than capital. They are responsible for making investment decisions and managing the enterprise.
The mudarib receives their agreed share of profits as compensation. If the venture incurs losses (not due to negligence), the mudarib loses only their effort and time, not financial capital. In Islamic banking, the bank typically acts as mudarib when managing investment deposits.
