Is it permissible to sell the right to lease a place in the market after having leased it for previous periods?
It is permissible for the first tenant to waive their right of priority to rent the premises to another person in exchange for a sum of money, unless the contract concluded between the first tenant and the municipality stipulates otherwise. If the contract stipulates a prohibition, then it must be adhered to, because "Muslims are bound by their conditions." In the absence of such a condition, waiving the right for compensation is considered a form of compensation for rights that have financial value in market custom.
