The Ruling on a Lease Contract Ending in Ownership
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah for you. This questioner asks, saying: Your Excellency the Shaykh, what is the opinion of your eminence regarding a lease that ends in ownership, and are there conditions for its permissibility?
Answer:
It is not permissible. How can we speak of conditions for it? We say it is not permissible at all. A decision was issued by the Council of Senior Scholars forbidding it, because it combines two different contracts: a lease contract and a sale contract. Each contract has rulings that differ from the other. Therefore, this contract is not permissible. They may sell only, or they may lease only. How can one sell and lease at the same time? That is not right. Yes.
