The ruling on leasing a car with the option to own it at the end

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some companies lease a car so that the lessee can own it at the end of the lease.

Answer:
This is not valid. One leases a car and finds that after a certain period he is entitled to own it. This is a mistake because it combines two contracts: a lease and a sale. Is this permissible? It says: "Lease the car for one year. When the year is up and this amount is paid, the car is yours, your property." This is a conditional sale, and a conditional sale is not permissible. A sale must be immediate. A sale conditioned on one year or two years is not permissible. Yes.
