The ruling on renting out a car after it has been repaired

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I have a car that I want to rent out, and it needs some repairs. Is it permissible for me to give it to a person who will repair it for me and include the profit in the maintenance costs, given that he has car rental shops?

Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with giving the car to a car repair shop so that the owner of the place can repair it, and you pay him the repair fee. Once the car is repaired, you rent it out to people as a vehicle that is fit for use. However, renting it out while it has a defect is not permissible until this defect is made clear to the renter; if he is satisfied with it, then there is nothing wrong. Yes.
