The Ruling on a Tenant Subletting the Leased Property
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And there is no man who moves with it to reside in it, meaning it is obligatory for him to give
The Shaykh:
This is what I mean? I mean that the tenant has the right to sublet it to someone who benefits from it in the same way, without exceeding that, because the benefit is his right. So he may take it for himself, and he may take it through an agent. So if the sub-tenant benefits from the house in the same way the first tenant did, there is no harm. But if he adds something that harms the house, it is not permissible.
The questioner:
And your sale, where the questioner says.
The Shaykh:
For example, you are renting it for residence, and you rent it to someone who turns it into a factory. This is not permissible; this is harm, because a factory is more harmful than residence.
