Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Listen now, you rented this car from me for one month for ten thousand, and the rent was defective. The month ended and you returned the car to me.
Answer : The school of thought holds that this contract has no effect; it has no effect. If the equivalent rent is twenty thousand, the renter who rented the car is obligated to pay twenty thousand. If the equivalent rent is five thousand, he is only obligated to pay five thousand, because the ten thousand on which the contract was based was found to be defective, so it is not binding. Any damage, malfunction, accidents, or other issues that befall the car are the responsibility of the renter, whether he was negligent or not, because this is the ruling for the usurper. If the car is destroyed by fire without any cause from the renter, he is liable for it because he is a usurper.
