The answer

The pledge made by the client to the bank to rent a house after the bank purchases it is permissible if it is a binding promise that necessitates either renting or paying compensation for damages in case of reneging, and it is binding upon the client. However, if the pledge is a lease contract, it is invalid because the bank is contracting for something it does not yet own.
