قَالَ مَالِكٌ : وَمَنِ اشْتَرَى سِلْعَةً مِنَ السِّلَعِ غَزْلًا أَوْ مَتَاعًا أَوْ بُقْعَةً مِنَ الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ أَحْدَثَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْمُشْتَرَى عَمَلًا بَنَى الْبُقْعَةَ دَارًا، أَوْ نَسَجَ الْغَزْلَ ثَوْبًا، ثُمَّ أَفْلَسَ الَّذِي ابْتَاعَ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ : رَبُّ الْبُقْعَةِ أَنَا آخُذُ الْبُقْعَةَ وَمَا فِيهَا مِنَ الْبُنْيَانِ، إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَيْسَ لَهُ، وَلَكِنْ تُقَوَّمُ الْبُقْعَةُ وَمَا فِيهَا، مِمَّا أَصْلَحَ الْمُشْتَرِي ثُمَّ يُنْظَرُ كَمْ ثَمَنُ الْبُقْعَةِ؟ وَكَمْ ثَمَنُ الْبُنْيَانِ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْقِيمَةِ؟ ثُمَّ يَكُونَانِ شَرِيكَيْنِ فِي ذَلِكَ لِصَاحِبِ الْبُقْعَةِ، بِقَدْرِ حِصَّتِهِ وَيَكُونُ لِلْغُرَمَاءِ بِقَدْرِ حِصَّةِ الْبُنْيَانِ. ¤
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if a person bought thread or land, then made cloth from the thread and built a house on the land, and after that the buyer became insolvent, now if the seller of the land says that I will take both the land and the house, then this cannot happen. Rather, the value of the land and the construction will be assessed, then it will be seen how much of this value pertains to the land and how much to the construction. Now both the seller and the buyer will share in this; the owner of the land according to his share, and the remaining creditors according to the construction.
