Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If you rent out land for a sum of money, and this land did not produce because of a disease in the crops, is the landowner entitled to the money he received?
Answer:
Yes. As for the rent of the land, and the tenant who planted it and the crops were struck, the lessor does not guarantee the safety of the crops for him. This is a heavenly calamity, and he does not guarantee it for him. Yes.
