The Ruling on Terminating a Shop Lease Before the End of the Term

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A person is surprised by the shop for a year; after six months have passed, he pays the remainder of the first half. That is, he pays the first half at the beginning of the contract, and after six months have passed, he finds that he is unable to continue in this shop. May Allah reward you, if he cancels the contract.

The Shaykh:
As long as the year has been completed, the hall cannot be [cancelled], it is transferred to another, unless the seller or the lessor cancels it; the hall cannot be [cancelled].

The questioner:
For example, the lessor refused.

The Shaykh:
The contract is not completed.

The questioner:
He must complete it.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
He is suffering harm. Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh:
Even if it is based on falsehood.

The questioner:
I seek Allah's forgiveness for you.

The Shaykh:
Who said to him that he should hire.

The questioner:
We ask Allah for the people of the desert who.

The Shaykh:
Unless he permits it and forgives him, may Allah reward him with good. And what about the sale? A hire is a sale.

The questioner:
Yes.

The Shaykh:
If you bought the item for one hundred riyals and then it became cheap for you after you were free, yes, if you hired it for one hundred riyals and then you were free and then you say to you, "By Allah, I do not want you," unless it is such that it causes loss, it is not good to sell or buy, or if one is defrauded, no, you return to the court.

The questioner:
What Allah willed. For example, if he gives him a specific amount.

The Shaykh:
If they settle, no, if they settle the right between them, it does not go beyond that, if they settle, no.
