The Ruling on a Lease Ending in Ownership
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Abu al-Bara' al-Sudani, a resident of al-Madinah al-Munawwarah, says: Is it permissible for me to buy a car through a lease ending in ownership? Please inform us. May Allah reward you and bless you.
The Shaykh:
A lease ending in ownership is not valid. This is a sale that is not finalized. It is merely a sale in the form of a lease. When the lease period ends, it transforms into a sale. This is not permissible. A sale must be finalized. Yes.
The questioner:
And is it said to be a contract in two contracts?
The Shaykh:
It is similar to a contract in two contracts. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
