The Ruling on a Lease Contract with Subsequent Transfer of Ownership
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions that have come in, the questioner says: Shaykh, I asked one of the banks to buy a house for me, and the text of the contract came with the title “Lease Contract with Subsequent Transfer of Ownership.”
Answer:
This is not permissible. This lease ending in ownership is invalid, and a decision was issued by the Committee of Senior Scholars declaring it invalid. Therefore, the sale is not permissible, and it is not conditional. The sale must be immediate. This combines two contracts, so it is obligatory to restrict it to either the lease only or the sale only. Yes.
