The ruling on specifying a duration in a share-cropping agreement
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: It is reported in a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said to the Jews, “We will leave you in it as long as we wish.” Is this a condition regarding the duration? And is it obligatory to fulfill it if there is a specific duration?
Answer:
As you heard, this indicates that a specific duration is not set for the share-cropper; rather, it is up to the owner of the trees to leave him in it as long as he wishes, to settle accounts with him when he wants, and to take back the trees. Yes.
