Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on taking a sum of money when relinquishing a lease contract to a third party, which is called taqbil or naql al-qadam?
Answer:
If the tenant's term has expired, he has no right to the premises except with the owner's permission, and it is not permissible for him to take taqbil or naql al-qadam unless he still has time remaining on his lease. If he has time remaining, there is no objection to him giving it to another person and paying him the rent. However, if his term has ended, he has no right to this premises. Yes.
