Legality Of Ijarah
What are some of the legal bases for the permissibility of Ijarahs?
The Quran states, “And if they suckle your (offspring), give them their recompense.” (Al-Talaq: 6) And the Prophet Muhammad (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, "He who hires a worker must inform him of his wage.” (Al-Bayhaqi from Abu Hurayra)

Islamic jurists have been in consensus on the legal validity of Ijarah from the time of the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) stating that Ijarah makes it possible to lease assets to those who are in need of them, thereby making it a suitable and profitable transaction for both parties—the lessor gets consideration in exchange for leasing his asset while the lessee is able to acquire and use an asset that he would otherwise not have been able to.
