Resolution No.(182): "Ruling on Linking the Rent with a Changing Parameter"

Date Added : 12-11-2015

Resolution No.(182)(15/2012) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Ruling on Linking the Rent with a Changing Parameter"

Date: 23/12/1433 AH, corresponding to 8/11/2012 AD.

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds, and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.

On the above given date, the Board reviewed  linking the rent with a changing parameter.

After researching and deliberating, the Board decided what follows:

Linking rents with changing parameters is one of the modern forms employed by markets to overcome the fluctuation of prices; particularly, long term rents where prices of apartments vary and values differ in accordance with the factors affecting the market.

Therefore, the Board sees no harm in linking the rent with a specific parameter by which the contracting parties are governed when determining the amount of the rent at the beginning of long term leases, because it averts dispute and deception.

Since Muslim scholars have permitted hiring a worker in return for food and clothing, hiring a reaper in return for a fixed amount of the crop as well as selling and leasing according to the market price, or the standard price, then it is axiomatic that it is permissible to lease items (apartments, cars...etc.) against a rent which is linked with a certain financial parameter. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is there a solution to put an end to thinking of worries during prayer?

Firstly, make ablution after the time for prayer begins and busy yourself with remembering Allah, The Exalted, before the iqaamah (start of prayer).In order to become humbly submissive during prayer, you must perform prayer in congregation. After the prayer ends, stay in your place and read the post-prayer remembrances (Adhkaar) and make supplication to Allah, The Exalted.

Should the father command his ten-year-old daughter to wear the Islamic dress?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds, and may His Peace and Blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all of his family and companions.

The father should order his daughter to put on the Islamic dress once she turns ten, in order for her to get used to it. And Allah Knows Best.

After buying tires, I made an oath not to buy tires from a person. Afterwards, he offered his entire car for sale. What is the ruling on this?

If you bought the entire car and in order to be on the safe side, you should pay an expiation; feeding 10 poor people and the cost of feeding a person is half a JD. And Allah Knows Best.

A sixteen-year-old young woman suffers from Alopecia, and lost her hair and eyebrows as a result. Is it allowed to draw her eyebrows using henna and an eyeliner? 

All perfect praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
It is permissible for women to use henna and what the asker has mentioned isn`t considered hair extension. However, if this young woman is proposed to, she must disclose this matter to the person proposing to her to avoid deception. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
