Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man leased his house to another for a known amount without specifying a duration. The question is: if the duration becomes long and the value of the currency changes, so that the value of the rent becomes very low, is the lessor required to force the lessee to raise the rent?
Answer:
This rent is invalid from the outset. The duration was not specified; it is necessary to specify the duration. Therefore, it is a defective lease because the duration was not specified and is unknown. If the duration is unknown, the contract is defective. Yes.
