The ruling on leasing a shop along with the goods inside it

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: It is currently happening in some commercial markets that a person comes to the owner of a shop that has some goods in it and says, “I am leasing the shop from you along with what is in it, on the condition that I give you a specific amount of money each month.” The lessee may incur a loss, and yet he is required to pay the specified amount. What is the ruling on this transaction?

Answer:
This transaction is not permissible. It contains excessive uncertainty (gharar) and ignorance. One should lease the shop only. If he wants to buy the goods that are in it, he buys them; it is a purchase, not a lease. It is a purchase. As for leasing the shop and what is in it, that is not permissible. One leases the shop only, and as for the goods, they are not leased but sold. Yes.
