The operative cause of the prohibition of a lease ending in ownership, and a response to the argument based on the story of Musa
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding rental ending in ownership, what is the operative cause of its prohibition? And as for the one who argues for its permissibility by citing the story of Musa (peace be upon him) when Shu'ayb hired him, claiming that this is evidence for its permissibility, how is he refuted?
Answer:
Musa did not sell and hire; he only hired. He did not combine renting and selling. It was only a wage, which is lawful. He did not say, "Rent me out, and also sell me." This is a strange argument. As for the issue of what the reason is, my brother, go and take the chapter on rulings from the book of difficult issues and read it; the justifications for the prohibition are mentioned in it. Yes.
