The ruling on a lessee subleasing the leased property to another lessee for a higher price
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Salim.
The questioner : A woman, O Shaykh, rented a house. We deal with some of the patterns regarding it. And the attack increased. And the house increased.
The Shaykh : How? Yes.
The questioner : The increase in males and the increase in non-intelligence is more than the reference who leases.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Because if, if the owner of the same thing. The same as what is upon him.
The Shaykh : If the rents increase, there is no problem, but if the rents do not increase and he leases it for more, that is also permissible with no problem because he owns the benefit, so he owns its usage, but we mentioned that it is not befitting except with the permission of the lessor so that nothing may arise in his heart,
The questioner : Okay, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Now, for example, he rented this house for a full ten years? Let us say for one thousand riyals. Do you understand? So a person came and said, I want you to lease me this house for half a year for one thousand riyals. This is an increase, okay, the correct view is that there is no harm in that, the correct view is that there is no harm in that because he owns the benefit of this house until the year, but we mentioned that it is not befitting for him to lease it for more except with the permission of the lessor, unless there is a reason that the rents have increased, why? So that nothing may arise in his heart, and the Shari'ah considers the fact that affection and harmony among people are established
