In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Please clarify for us the following issues in order for us to issue a ruling:
1. What do you mean by “I am living in lease house (no rented house)?
2. Are you renting the home?
3. Is Rs 100 000 the rental fee or a deposit?
4. Briefly explain the contract
And Allah knows best
