The Ruling on a Lease Ending in Ownership
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on a lease that ends in ownership?
Answer:
It is not permissible; this is invalid. A decision was issued by a group of senior scholars more than ten years ago, because it is invalid. It combines two contracts: a lease and a sale. The sale is conditional, and a conditional sale is not valid; it must be immediate. The lease has its own conditions, and the sale has different conditions, so they cannot be combined. Also, this causes harm to the consumer. There may be nothing left of the car, or there may be something useful left, but it is unknown what will happen to the car. So, either he leases it only, or he sells it only. Yes.
