Summary
Lending a car belonging to another person without the owner's permission is not allowed and is ruled haram. If someone takes the car without permission and then lends it to a third party, two wrongs occur, since it is a loan upon a loan without the owner's consent. Even a legitimate borrower only has the right to use the item and may not rent it out or lend it to others. Lending remains encouraged as good social conduct, provided it is done willingly and each party's rights are respected.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum meminjamkan kereta orang lain kepada orang lain adalah tidak dibolehkan apabila tiada sebarang keizinan dari tuan asalnya.
