Summary
Renting out a borrowed item to another person is not permitted and the rental contract is invalid. One condition of a valid rental is that the lessor owns the usufruct of the item, whereas a borrower only has the right to use it for himself. If the rental has already been made, the borrower must ask the owner whether he may keep the profit, forgive it for the borrower, or return the rental payment.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum menyewakan barangan pinjam kepada orang lain adalah tidak dibenarkan dan tidak sah kerana tidak menepati salah satu syarat akad sewaan iaitu pemberi sewa mestilah memiliki manfaat barang yang ingin disewakan.
