3938 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، فِي عَبْدَيْنِ مُتَفَاوِضَيْنِ كَاتَبَ أَحَدُهُمَا قَالَ: «جَائِزٌ إِذَا كَانَا مُتَفَاوِضَيْنِ يَقْضِي أَحَدُهُمَا عَنِ الْآخَرِ»

Commentary
In the comprehensive partnership (Sharikat Al-Mufawada), two partners share their entire wealth, benefits, and profits. They are each other's authorized representative and sponsors, to the extent that one's financial liability could be demanded of the other. In this situation, therefore, if one specifies one's price of emancipation from his master, the other would also cooperate with him and share his burden.
