The Ruling on a Sale Ending in Ownership
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: What is the ruling on selling the lease of my property with a notice? It is not permissible.
Answer:
This is not permissible, and the Committee of Senior Scholars has issued a decision prohibiting it, as has the Permanent Committee, because it is neither purely a lease nor purely a sale; it is a mixture. A sale differs from a lease, and a lease differs from a sale. Also, it is unknown what the commodity will end up being. “Ending in ownership” means that it may be consumed, leaving only something worthless. How can one sell something unknown? It is not valid. Yes.
