What is the ruling on leasing a taxi license in Canada for a fixed monthly fee?
If local laws and custom permit the sale or leasing of a license that requires money and effort to obtain, then there is no objection to it, as it is considered a recognized financial right. It is permissible to lease it unless it is suspected that it will be used for something forbidden, based on the Almighty's saying: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." However, if the laws do not allow its sale or leasing, then it is not permissible; because it is a personal usufruct right that is not transferable, and doing so would be in violation of the conditions for obtaining it, and "Muslims are bound by their conditions in what is lawful."
