Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What is the ruling on a man renting out the palm trees in his farm?
Answer:
Renting them out. There is nothing wrong with renting out trees, whether for a share of what they produce or for dirhams; there is nothing wrong with that, except if it is a scheme to sell the fruit before it becomes ripe. Some people scheme through the rent. This is not permissible. Yes. When it was said to him that it is not permissible to sell the fruit before it becomes ripe, he went and rented out the tree in order to scheme to sell, to sell what has not yet become ripe. This is not permissible. Yes.
