It is obligatory that the lessee see (the property) or the owner describe its characteristics completely. That it is possible for the lessee to take possession of (the property). Thus, when a runaway horse is rented and it is not possible for the lessee to take it, the rental is invalid. That the benefit of that (thing rented, leased or hired) is not exhausted by its usage. According to this, it is not proper to rent bread or fruit. That the utilization and benefit of that is possible.

Therefore, it is not proper to lease land for farming when it is unsuitable for agriculture or there is an insufficient quantity of water. That the thing sought (to rent/lease) is the possession of the lessor or he is a representative (Wakeel) or guardian (Waliy) in its rental/hire. Issue 757: A few matters are conditional in the benefit for one who rents/hires something: That (the benefit) be lawful.

According to this, it is not proper to lease a store or rent a car in order to profit from it in the production of alcohol or its transportation. That the offering of property in exchange for (what is rented/hired) is not in jest in the common view. When the benefit of something is varied, it is obligatory to specify what the lessee will acquire. For example, when an animal is hired it can be used for hauling, carrying, riding or drawing something.

It is obligatory to specify which of these aims are to be realized according to the rental agreement. It is obligatory that (both parties) specify the time period of the lease/hire agreement. Issue 758: When the beginning point of the rental/hire agreement is not specified, the beginning point will be after the execution of the Seeghah or after taking possession of the property directly.

Issue 759: When a house or property is leased for a year, for example, and the beginning of the agreement is a month after the execution of the Seeghah of lease/rental, it is proper although the house or property is rented to another person at the time of the execution of the Seeghah of lease/rental.

Issue 760: When the lessee says: (I will rent the house for this month for one thousand dollars and whatever I remain beyond this period, the rent is from this same amount.) The agreement is proper with relation to the first month only because the remaining time was not specified. However, when the first month was also not specified and it was only said: Every month (I will rent the house) for one thousand dollars, the agreement is fundamentally invalid.
