LessonsLeasing (إجارة): Basic Rules of a Valid LeaseQuiz

Leasing applies to an asset whose use does not consume the asset itself. A house remains after someone lives in it, and a car remains after a journey.

Money, food, fuel and ammunition cannot normally be leased because ordinary use consumes them. If money is given and a “rent” is charged for using it, the transaction is really a loan and the extra amount is interest/usury (ربا).
