Question:
A man sold an apartment he owns in Makkah on the condition that he may live in it for one week per year, whether that week is specified or unspecified, for an indefinite period.
Answer:
If the period of residence is known and specified, there is no harm, because Jabir, as we have mentioned, sold his camel and stipulated that he could ride it to al-Madinah; he stipulated its benefit and specified the distance. So if he specifies the days he will reside in it, there is no harm, whether in one year or over several years, as long as it is known. Yes.
