If the tenant does not vacate the shop

Question

Question: Zayd appointed Rashid Ahmad over his shop, saying: “Let my shop to someone.” It was agreed: “Whenever I need it, you will have to have it vacated and give it to us.” Now the owner needs it, but the tenant does not vacate. What shall I do now? I am helpless.

Answer

The owner has the authority to sell and buy. To have the shop vacated, he may adopt whatever measure — a lawsuit or the like — is appropriate and effective.
