What is the ruling on assigning a lease-to-own car to another party, and what are the consequences of not paying the installments?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Leasing-to-own has শরীয়াহ (Islamic legal) regulations. The leased item is not owned by the lessee, and the installments paid are rent, not a price. It is impermissible to dispose of the car by selling it before owning it, but it is permissible to lease it to others under the same conditions or more favorable ones. If the lessee fails to fulfill the contract, the leasing entity has the right to demand its due.
