Ismail Khudair had <del>re</del> rented the two shops numbered 37 and 39 for an amount of 1700 fils
monthly, and when he came three weeks ago to the current clerk ⟦browsing⟧ wanting only one shop
and leaving one shop empty for an amount of one dinar, do you allow him to do that?
Because the second shop he describes, he did not let anyone rent it, and if you do not agree to that, then a
lawsuit must be filed against him because he wants to pay only one dinar.
