Grand Mufti on Paying Rent in Kind
The Egyptian Dar Al-Ifta has permitted the payment of rent in contracts in a tangible form, such as using a specific mobile phone, instead of cash, provided that the rent is clearly defined, known, and mutually agreed upon by both parties. Scholars have confirmed that rent is permissible whether it involves a tangible item or a benefit, as long as it is specified and known, and that it aligns with what is acceptable in terms of price in sales. The Mufti regarded that a lease contract for a particular benefit, whether involving a fixed object or a benefit itself, serves the public interest and alleviates hardship. It is also required that the compensation be known and set in a manner that eliminates uncertainty.
