Is this investment halal / haram or just risky? Need opinions
Hey everyone,
I need some honest opinions about an investment structure I’m currently involved in.
I invested €10,000 with my uncle in a business deal.
Here’s how it works:
- My uncle has a client contract generating a stable €500/month payment
- The client has been consistent for about a year (monthly payments are quite stable but not guaranteed forever)
- I invested €10,000 into this setup
- I receive 30% of the monthly income, which is around €150/month
- There is no fixed guaranteed profit
- If the client stops paying or the contract ends, the income stops
- I also risk losing my capital if things go wrong
So basically:
- The income depends entirely on one client
- Returns are proportional (30%), not fixed yet since it's a stable client for them, most likely I will receive €150/month since the client pay a stable monthly payment
- The situation is currently stable, but structurally risky
My question is:
From an Islamic perspective, is this considered halal investment / partnership (mudaraba), or does it fall into something problematic (like riba or an invalid structure)?
Would appreciate any serious input.
Thanks.
