Sunni tradition (the museum's frame)Main reference
The Hanafis, Shafi'is and Zahiris forbid the sale of airspace, treating it as an accessory of the ownership that cannot be contracted on its own (p. 53).
Academic viewSecondary opinion
The author says he inclines to the first view (permitting the sale); this is his own preference, not a school's position (p. 53).
Shia (Zaydi) viewOther opinion
The Zaydis are listed with the forbidding group on the sale of airspace (p. 53).
