Question:
The questioner asks about the housing grants that the ruler gives to some people, allowing them to reside in and build upon them. Are these tied to a specific ruling or basis?
Answer:
This is a grant (iqtat). We stated that ownership of dead land (uninhabited land) is established by one of two things: either by cultivation (hijrah) or by a grant from the ruler. If the ruler grants someone something, he owns it. Yes. If he grants him a farm or a house for residence, he owns it by virtue of the grant. Yes.
