Q 3:
We are leasing a store and want to leave it
for certain circumstances. The store owner will give us a sum of money to leave the store. Is it Haram (prohibited) or Halal (lawful) to take this money? It is worth mentioning that this store is our source of income. Should we, thus, leave it for free or can we take the sum offered?
A: If your lease period has not finished yet, there is no objection to leaving the store and taking a payment as a compensation for the remaining lease period. If your lease period has finished, it is not permissible for you to take money in return for giving the store to its owner. (Part No. 15; Page No. 91) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
