The ruling on the condition of not reclaiming the rent and furniture upon leaving
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, we are a group of colleagues and young men who rented a rest house for five years and bought furniture for it. We, as a group, agreed that whoever leaves during the period has no right to reclaim what he paid of the rent for the rest house, and no right to reclaim ownership of the furniture. Is this action valid? Knowing that we are all satisfied with this.
Answer:
As for the rent, the contract is binding on everyone, whether they leave or stay, so the contract is binding. If one voluntarily waives part of his right, there is no harm in that. As for the furniture, it is not permissible to confiscate it from its owner except with his consent and permission. Yes.
