The renting of equipment in Islamic jurisprudence

Abstract

Abstract:

The research boils down to identifying the leasing contract and the evidence of its legality, its conditions and elements, and identifying the extent of the legality of leasing equipment and equipment in terms of the definition of the word leasing in the language and the terminology of the jurists, and the evidence of the legality of leasing equipment and equipment from the Qur’an, the Sunnah and the opinions of the jurists, and setting controls for this contract, the most important of which is the maintenance of devices and equipment. Is it the responsibility of the lessor or the lessee? He mentioned the opinions of the jurists on this delicate issue and their approach to it. What is the ruling if it is stipulated in the lease contract that maintenance be borne by the lessor?

I concluded that Islamic jurisprudence permits renting industrial equipment and various devices to others in exchange for a suitable fee. It has become commonplace today to rent cars and drilling, lifting and measuring machines, for hospitals to rent the medical equipment they need, and for agricultural and animal production projects to rent the equipment they need for land reclamation. Planting it, irrigating it, harvesting it, and so on.
