Advance Rent In Ijarah
Is it permissible for the lessor to receive advance rent for an Ijarah?
It is permissible for the lessor to receive advance rent for an Ijarah. The advance rental is called arbun and may be retained by the lessor if the lessee backs out of the lease agreement before the expiry of its term.

Although it is preferable that only the actual loss be made up for from the advance rent by calculating the difference between the rental received and the rental that would have been received had the lease remained effective.
