Mohammed Saif al-Din - Cairo

The Egyptian trio Bishoy Jamil has many friends and acquaintances, but he suffers from loneliness because of the preoccupation of everyone with the pressures of daily life, and the limited convergence of opportunities offered through social networking platforms.

The isolation imposed by everyday circumstances and the virtual world prompted Bishoy to try out a friend's lease, a service recently launched by a number of Egyptian youth on social networking platforms, a service that some have accused of spreading unethical, anti-religious relationships.

Launched in May, the "owner of the lease" offers multiple services to individuals as well as companies, in an effort to address the many problems facing the Egyptian society today, said marketing director Socrates Ali Aljazeera.net.

The idea is the first of its kind in the Arab world and comes as an extension to a similar service launched in Japan and spread in other countries, such as India, Canada, Italy, Britain and the United States.

I have no idea what to do for a rent, and it is possible that you can talk to them because you want a limit to buy your needs, or to save you a journey or to speak with you. But God, of course, is not in Egypt, because there is no need to do it properly

Multiple services
The service providers are interested in providing many services to the youth, including the escort service by sending a representative to deliver the customer to the place of shopping, to participate in the selection of colors and to know the various offers from the famous stores, as well as go to the cinema and attend meetings instead of the client.

The idea is to provide services for the elderly, including providing medical facilities to care for the client, as well as sharing details of the day in full, especially those who suffer from loneliness or preoccupation with children throughout the day.

As for how young people interact with the service, Al-Jazeera said that the number of followers of the page reached more than 120 thousand subscribers, as well as many questions (more than 80 thousand messages) about the actual date of service in the market and prices of services and their location .

As for safety and privacy, Ali explained that they have a strong plan to keep customers and delegates confidential, as well as to review the criminal record of delegates by the company's legal counsel, to exclude anyone who has legal irregularities that may expose them to legal liability.

Spoiling and corruption

For his part, praised the professor of psychiatry at the University of Zagazig north of Cairo, Ahmed Abdullah on the idea, because it comes in light of the disintegration witnessed by the Egyptian society, and the weakness of the ability to communicate, and only the platforms of social communication.

In his speech to Al Jazeera Net, warned the psychological expert to convert relations to a commodity subject to sales and purchase, and called on the Egyptians to make more efforts to restore the warmth of family relations and social relations to what it was before.

Social isolation increases the risk of heart disease by 29 percent and stroke by 32 percent, according to a study by scientists at the University of Concordia in 2016.

Notice to the Attorney General
The security expert, Reda Yacoub, reported to the Attorney General and the Minister of the Interior against the owners of the "Rentee" page, saying that it aims to attract young people to fall into the trap of moral crimes and tampering with their honor.

"The leaflets on the social media site contain immoral materials and acts as terrorism that tries to spoil the ethics and principles of Egyptian society, which are enshrined in the divine religions," Reza said in his report.
