The Ruling on Using a Car Under a Lease-to-Own Contract
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: My father took a sum of money from me and gave me in exchange a car that he had purchased under a lease-to-own contract.
The Shaykh:
His father.
The questioner:
He says: My father took a sum of money from me and gave me in exchange a car that he had purchased through a lease-to-own contract. The question is: Is it permissible for me to use it? And if it is not permissible, what should I do, given that my father is disposing of the money?
The Shaykh:
If your father takes something from you, do not demand it back from him; it is not permissible for you to demand it from him, because he is your father, and you and your wealth belong to your father. So leave this right that you have over your father, return the car to him, and Allah will compensate you with something better. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
