“Lease” refers to an agreement that allows one to use someone else’s property in return for money or any other specified thing.

Issue 1069: The lessor and the lessee must both be sane adults and enter into the lease of their own volition, and must be capable of taking possession of their property.

Issue 1070: It is not necessary for the lessor and the lessee to pronounce the formula in Arabic, and the lease will be valid if the lessor says to the lessee, “I leased out my property to you”, and the lessee says “I accepted”.

Issue 1071: If a person rents a house, store, or a room and the owner imposes the condition that the lessee must use the property him/herself, then the lessee can not lease out that property to a third person; but if the owner of the property does not lay down such a condition, the lessee can lease the property out to another person.
