Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on a lease that ends in ownership?
Answer:
This is not permissible. A decision was issued ten years ago by the senior scholars that it is forbidden and not permissible, because it combines two different contracts, so this is not permissible. Also, it involves exploiting the needy and the poor. Also, one does not know what will happen to the car; this is a contract on something unknown. One does not know what the car will become in the future. It has many defects, so it is beneficial to the merchant and harmful to the needy person.
