Question
One of my acquaintances needed cash so I rented a floor owned by him for a period of six months and rented it to him again. Two different contracts are made for rent and payment. In the first contract, I rented the floor from him for two lakh rupees and paid two lakh rupees in cash. In the second contract, I re-rented the floor to him for two lakh and thirty thousand rupees. He pays a total of thirty thousand rupees in six months in installments of five thousand rupees per month and pays the remaining two lakh rupees of rent after six months. I want to know whether our transaction has been valid and whether the additional thirty thousand rupees received through this transaction has been valid for me? Will benefit by informing. 5363346176
Answer
- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -
It is not lawful to rent a thing and re-rent it to the tenant. Therefore, the additional thirty thousand rupees received in the name of rent from the agreement in question will be considered as interest. It is not permissible for you to take this money. It will be returned to the borrower. Note that the business in question is a sub-strategy of interest business. It is clear that in this case, even if there is talk of giving and taking out rent, in reality neither the tenant nor the tenant has any intention of giving or taking rent; Rather, the purpose of both is to exchange loans. And the purpose of the lender is to make extra money in exchange for the loan. So Muslims need to refrain from such activities. 2475577549
