The ruling on the statement that it is obligatory to act according to the Prophet’s judgment between al-Zubayr and the one who disputed with him regarding the irrigation of the land

The questioner : Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was with al-Zubayr. We did not find any objection. Is it a binding judgment of a scholar, or is it permissible to do what? Is it a binding judgment of a scholar, or is it permissible for the farmers to reconcile on something else, meaning?

The Shaykh : The right belongs to them. So if the one who has the right allows taking less than what is due to him, there is no harm.

The questioner : They allocated it by time. They allocated it by time.

The Shaykh : Endpoints, meaning. There is no harm, but in reality, this involves ambiguity, especially if the valley is from rain, because it is not known when the rain will come in this time versus that time, so there is great ambiguity in it. As for the river, if it is a wide, large, and well-known river, its matter is clear.
