Is it permissible to lease when contracting to rent 10 feddans, with only two feddans delivered and their location specified, and a promise to deliver the remaining 8 feddans from any other land without specifying a date or location?
For the validity of a lease (ijara), it is stipulated that the leased asset must be known. Leasing a piece of land whose location and description are unknown constitutes manifest ignorance (jahalah zahirah), which invalidates the contract.
