Must female teachers pay the driver's fare for a full month or only for the week he worked, if they requested to change the driver after the first week of the month, knowing that it is customary among drivers to consider a seat reserved for a full month once the month begins?

If the lease contract is monthly, the tenant must pay the full rent, because the lease contract is binding on both parties, and the tenant is the one who forfeited the benefit of the service for himself. The fundamental principle of an

ijarah (leasing) contract, according to the majority of scholars, is that it is binding, and neither party has the right to unilaterally terminate it except in the presence of a legitimate excuse, such as the appearance of a defect, or by mutual agreement of both parties. However, if no excuse arises, and the landlord remains committed to providing the service, then the lease remains binding on the tenant and he must pay the full rent, unless a reconciliation is reached between the two parties.
