Abstract

Objectives: The study aims to highlight the Hanafi jurists’ conception of a defective lease contract by clarifying its concept, identifying its causes, and explaining its legal rulings. In addition, it examines the two most prominent causes of defect in lease contracts, namely: excessive uncertainty and the corrupting condition.

Methods: The study adopts inductive, analytical, and inferential approaches by surveying Hanafi legal texts to extract materials related to defective leases, analyzing jurists’ statements and jurisprudential issues concerning defective lease contracts, and deriving the main features of defective leases according to the Hanafi school.

Results: The invalid lease (Ijarah) according to the Hanafi school is a contract with all its essential elements completed. However, the flaw lies in some of its secondary aspects, It must be annulled to uphold the law, and its effects are only realized after the actual utilization of the benefit. In such a case, the fair market rent is due, and any profit derived is illicit; however, the amount equivalent to the fair market rent becomes permissible. Furthermore, the contract can be rectified by removing the cause of its invalidity.

Conclusions: The Hanafi school’s distinctive theory of defect in contracts has had a significant impact in validating many defective lease contracts that are considered void and non-rectifiable in other Islamic legal schools. The study recommends conducting an extensive study on defective leases in the Hanafi school and their jurisprudential applications within civil law systems.
