It is narrated from Sayyiduna Rafi' bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the blessed era of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), people used to lease cultivable land in exchange for vegetables, water channels, and some husk. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not consider it good to lease it in exchange for these things, so he forbade it. However, there is no harm in leasing it in exchange for dirhams or dinars.
