The answer

If the intent behind the "timeshare" system is that buyers share in the usufruct of a unit by rotation for a known period (such as a week), then this is closer to being a lease contract. Accordingly, the subscriber is permitted to utilize the benefit himself or through others during the agreed-upon period, and he may lease, lend, or deposit the property, provided that the conditions of the lease contract are observed.
