If a passenger agrees with a driver to transport him to a specific place for a known amount, but then the driver is unable to reach the agreed-upon destination, does the driver deserve anything, or is he entitled to a portion of the distance covered, and is this contract considered an ijarah (leasing/hiring) or a ja'alah (reward/stipend)?
