Buying a share in a factory

Question

Question: Can we put a share of thirteen hundred into a factory and take whatever profit comes to it by calculation, or not?? In the factory we are also liable for loss; loss in the factory can come only from a fire breaking out or an accident?

Answer

If lawful trade is conducted in this factory and there is no interest-based business, then buying a share of thirteen hundred and partaking in profit and loss is valid.
