For the lessor, when he receives the wage, benefits from all of it, unlike the lessee, for he does not obtain the full utilization of the benefit. We respond: This is not impossible, just as if they both stipulated acceleration, or if the price was a specific tangible asset.

Section: The sixth ruling is that if one stipulates the deferment of the wage, it is due at its specified time. If one stipulates that it be paid in installments, day by day, month by month, or less or more than that, it is according to what they both agreed upon; because leasing a tangible asset is like selling it, and its sale is valid with a prompt or deferred price, so too is its leasing.

Section: If the lessee has utilized the benefits, the wage is established; because he has taken possession of the object of the contract, so the substitute becomes due upon him, just as if he had taken possession of the sold item. If the tangible asset which was the subject of the lease is delivered to him, and the period passes, and there is no barrier preventing him from utilizing it, the wage is established even if he did not utilize it; because the object of the contract perished under his possession, and it was his right, so its substitute is established upon him, like the price of a sold item if it perishes in the buyer's possession. If the lease is for a task, and he takes possession of the object of the contract, and a period passes in which it is possible to utilize the benefit, such as if he hires a beast to ride to Homs, takes possession of it, and a period passes during which it is possible to ride it, our companions said: The wage is established upon him. This is the school of al-Shafi'i; because the benefits perished under his possession by his choice, so the liability is established upon him, just as if the asset had perished in the buyer's possession, and as if the lease were for a period and it passed. Abu Hanifah said: The wage is not established upon him until he utilizes the benefit; because it is a contract for a benefit not fixed by time, so its substitute is not established before utilizing it, like the wage for a shared hireling (ajir mushtarak). If he offers the delivery of the asset, and the lessee does not take it until the period expires, the wage is established upon him; because the benefits perished by his choice during the lease period, so the wage is established upon him, as if it were in his possession. If he offers the delivery of the asset, and the lease is for a task, our companions said: When a period passes in which it is possible
