What is the legal ruling on void conditions (*shurut fasidah*) unrelated to the purpose or essence of the contract?

Book of Partnership
Primary text
Stipulations that are neither beneficial to the contract nor implied by its nature are void. This includes stipulating that the *Mudarib* must conduct another *Mudarabah* for the principal, receiving the capital as merchandise or a loan, requiring the agent to perform a specific service, or allowing personal benefit from the goods such as wearing a garment, using a slave, or riding an animal. Also void are stipulations requiring the *Mudarib* to guarantee the capital, bear a portion of the loss (*wadiah*), or giving the seller priority to buy back the merchandise for its price, and similar stipulations imposed by the *Mudarib* upon the principal.
