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 1402B9
قَالَ مَالِكٌ : وَالْمُسَاقَاةُ أَيْضًا تَجُوزُ فِي الزَّرْعِ إِذَا خَرَجَ وَاسْتَقَلَّ، فَعَجَزَ صَاحِبُهُ عَنْ سَقْيِهِ وَعَمَلِهِ وَعِلَاجِهِ، فَالْمُسَاقَاةُ فِي ذَلِكَ أَيْضًا جَائِزَةٌ. ¤
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that for those trees in which musaqat is permissible, if fruits have already appeared on them in such a way that their improvement is certain, and their sale has become permissible, then musaqat is no longer permissible for them; however, it is permissible for the following year. But if the improvement of those fruits is not certain, and they are not yet fit for sale, then musaqat is permissible for them.
