The ruling on lease-to-own for the one who bought a car with it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man says: I bought a car under a lease-to-own system, and I did not know that the contract was invalid until I had already entered into it. It is known that only a short period remains, and the contract and installments will end. His question is: Should he wait until these installments are finished, then sell this car and buy another, or what should he do?
Answer:
He should abandon this transaction and Allah will compensate him. He should leave it. If they forgive him and give him back the money they took from him, they should forgive him regarding this contract. That is good. If they do not forgive him, he should abandon this contract. Yes.
