Selling the house with the condition that the seller remains in it until death
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: A woman wants to sell her house and has stipulated that she will remain in the house until she dies. Is this sale permissible?
The Shaykh:
When will she die? She stipulates a specific period, not until she dies. She stipulates a specific period, a month, a year, whatever does not contradict. But if it is until she dies, that is an unspecified term. And it is a condition in a lease that its duration be known.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says:
The Shaykh:
Or the exception of the benefit must be known. Yes.
