Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
From all these ahadith, it is established that if a landowner, in sharecropping (muzara‘ah), specifies the produce of separate portions of the same field for himself and for the sharecropper, then this type of sharecropping is impermissible.
And this is the corrupt condition
due to which sharecropping has been declared prohibited in its presence.
If this flaw is not present, and instead the land is given for a fixed amount, i.e., on lease (theka), then there is no harm in it.
