The Ruling on the Two Parties in a Sale Conditioning an Absolute Right of Option
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : So on this basis, if the option is absolute, such as if he says to you, "You have the option whenever you wish" or "until forever," then they remain in their option forever, or they may cut it off.
The Shaykh : I mean, unless I read it. Until when? You have the option forever, or you have the option whenever you wish. Until when? It is problematic, until death, if we say that the conditional option is inherited after death, it is problematic. It is forgotten, the way is that the Hour will stand, but the correct view is that it is not valid to make it absolute, because the dispute in it is clear and the litigation is apparent.
