Differentiating Between Invalid And Void Ijarah Contract
Is there any difference between an invalid Ijarah contract and a void Ijarah contract?
Islamic jurists have not differentiated between the two. A contract is prohibited if it does not fulfill the requirements of the Shariah, and prohibition necessitates non-existence of the contract. In an invalid or void contract, if the lessee benefits from the usufruct, or if time elapses during which the leased asset could have been utilized, the lessee pays equivalent rent, assessed as being the rent of similar usufruct.
