So what happened is neither he saw the project details nor me and after two week now when I started working on the project I realized that it was a betting app. Me and my friend both are very stressed that should we take the money from this app or not?

Q: Zaid and John entered into a muzaara'ah partnership. Zaid will provide the land and seeds and John will do the planting, etc.

They have agreed that they both will have 50% ownership in the crop. They also agreed that John will then handle the sale of the crop, and they will then divide what is earned between them 50% each.

Is this partnership valid? Can John be made a wakeel to purchase seedlings as well? If the above partnership was incorrect, how should it be redone, as there are already seeds planted.

Please advise.
