How is the option of condition in a settlement?

The Shaykh : Sharafi?

The questioner : What is the form of the option of condition in a settlement?

The Shaykh : A settlement is like a sale.

The questioner : Yes, but how? What is an example of that?

The Shaykh : For example, he says, "I have settled with you regarding the money in your possession for such and such, and I have the option for two or three days."

The questioner : The option regarding what?

The Shaykh : That I either proceed with the settlement or keep my right as it is.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Yes? ... I keep my previous right as it is, yes?

The questioner : ... The trade after he rented and brought a parking spot for lease ... after the contract ended ... why do we not say that it is deducted from the annual lease?

The Shaykh : Because when the contract is annulled, the contract is lifted from its origin, and when it is lifted, it returns to the starting point.

The questioner : I mean what ... ?

The Shaykh : Because if it were deducted, it would mean he is bound by the contract.
