Making Lessee Liable To Pay Future Rentals Upon Rescission
Is it permissible to include a clause in an Ijarah contract that makes the lessee liable to pay all remaining rentals in the event of rescission?
It is impermissible to include any clause that forces the lessee to pay all remaining rentals in the event of rescission. The proper procedure is to either continue with the contract until the end of the stipulated lease term or for the lessor to approve rescission, take back possession of the leased asset and relinquish claims to any further lease rentals.
