Lease agreements

Q: Please advise on lease agreements:

1. Is it necessary for a formal lease agreement contract to be in conformity with the Shariah? I understand that any faasid, baatil, or haraam conditions made compulsory by the Government will be excused.

2. Also, is it possible that on account of a lease agreement with faasid, baatil, or haraam conditions, the rent the lessor receives will be haraam money?

Working for Uber Eats

Q: I am a student who wishes to take up a job with Uber Eats. The job is basically to deliver food which can include haraam food and even alcohol. Uber pays an hourly rate for the delivery service. Is this job permissible?

Working for banks

Q: Is Banking job in UK prohibited? Few relatives are saying I must quit bank job immediately as this is Haram. I have concern when Saudi Arabia is Shariah based country than why their banking system is interest based.

Avoiding disputes

Q: I have rented a flat for my family in Dubai. But now my family has moved to USA So now I want my flat to sublet someone interested. As per the original contract letter, it has been clearly mentioned that I cannot sublet my rented flat to anyone else under any circumstances. So Please let me know that if I sublet my flat to anyone else without informing or taking permission from the original flat owner; would I be considered a Munafiq?
