موطا امام مالك رواية يحييٰ
Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب المساقاةBook: On the Explanation of Musaqat (Sharecropping)
بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي الْمُسَاقَاةِChapter on what is reported regarding musaqat (sharecropping)
Hadith 1402B12
قَالَ مَالِكٌ : وَإِنَّمَا فَرَّقَ بَيْنَ الْمُسَاقَاةِ فِي النَّخْلِ وَالْأَرْضِ الْبَيْضَاءِ أَنَّ صَاحِبَ النَّخْلِ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَى أَنْ يَبِيعَ ثَمَرَهَا حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ صَلَاحُهُ، وَصَاحِبُ الْأَرْضِ يُكْرِيهَا وَهِيَ أَرْضٌ بَيْضَاءُ لَا شَيْءَ فِيهَا. ¤
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that musaqat (sharecropping of trees) is permissible for two, three, four years, or less or more, in date-palm trees and what is similar to them.
