Sub-Leasing Leased Property Or Service
May the lessee sub-lease the leased property or service to a third-party?
The lessee may sub-lease the property or service to a third party with the lessor’s permission.

In the Hanafi school the sub-lease may only be at a rate less than or equal to the original lease, though the lessee may charge a higher rent if, with the lessor’s permission, he increases the property’s value by developing it.

In the Shafi’i and Hanbali schools no such condition applies and the lessee may agree any amount of rent with the sub-lessee, assuming the lessor permits sub-leasing.
