Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it required to inform the tenant when selling a rented property?
Answer:
The tenant has no connection to the sale; his connection is to the lease. So his lease remains, whether the property remains in the ownership of the lessor or is sold. The buyer has no right to evict the tenant until his term is completed, because it is protected by the first contract, the lease contract. So he suffers no harm. The tenant suffers no harm, whether the house belongs to Zayd or 'Umar; he suffers no harm in this. Yes.
