The reason for not being entitled to the fee if the lessor prevents the lessee from utilizing the agreed-upon benefit

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes. In the case where someone leases an animal and prevents the lessee from using it for part of the period, why is he not entitled to the fee for the time he used it?

The Shaykh : Because the contract was not fulfilled in its entirety. Specifically, what is it? I am leasing this animal for ten days because I have work that will not be completed until ten days have passed. And he prevented me from using it for the first five days. Or, after he gave it to me, he came and took it from me by force and returned it to his house. If the author mentioned that it is possible that he is entitled to a portion of the fee corresponding to the time he used it.
