Al-Qurtubi defined contracts as what a person binds himself to, such as buying, selling, leasing, marriage, or divorce. Contracts that conform to are valid, while those that violate it are invalid. The majority of scholars do not differentiate between invalid () and void (), whereas the Hanafis do. A person leasing himself for a forbidden act, such as distributing alcohol, is impermissible and void.
