Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I bought a car through what is called leasing with an option to purchase before I knew that it was forbidden. When I learned of this, I returned the car, or rather, I asked to return it to the company, but they demanded a large sum of money from me. He asks: What is your advice in this matter?
Answer:
You should take them to the Sharia court. Sue them. They are the ones who will file a claim against you in the Sharia court, and you should sue them, because the right is on their side. They are the ones who are suing, but as for you, leave them alone; do not give them anything and do not return their car to them. Yes, if they demand it, say: Let us go to the judge. Yes.
