The sale of land that has been granted or claimed first
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh! If a person is granted a piece of land, or if he claims it first, he has the strongest right to it. But is it permissible for him to sell it or not?
Answer:
You have heard the answer: the opinion is that one does not own the sale of it except through improvement, if he built it, or was present for the sale, or planted in it. As for mere repair or merely laying stones, this does not give him ownership of the sale.
