What is the ruling on selling the wheat harvest to a specific man at a fixed price before the land is planted and harvested?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Hello.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Hello.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Just a moment, please, with me.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The questioner : How are you? May you be well.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner : Our Shaykh, I have a question, if it is not too much trouble for you.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : Our Shaykh, one of the brothers says that he has an orchard or a farm for growing wheat.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : This man says he does not have the ability to grow the wheat, so he went to another person and said, "I will sell you the harvest after I plant and harvest it, for example, at six dinars per kilo, whereas the kilo after the harvest is harvested will be worth ten dinars." Is this permissible, O our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : And why this process? Why not lease the land to him?
The questioner : It would be like that, meaning the same thing.
The Shaykh : This is not permissible.
The questioner : It is not permissible.
The Shaykh: No.
The questioner : I mean, if there were another solution, for example, after they agreed, he said to him, "I stipulate that after the harvest, if, for example, it burns or something else happens, you are safe from the amount," or, for example, they share in the value that is agreed upon?
The Shaykh : This is a completion of the impermissibility.
The questioner : The impermissibility.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
The questioner : What is this sale, O our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : What is the ruling on this sale?
The Shaykh : Riba, riba.
The questioner : Riba.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And you as well.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Hello.
The Shaykh: Yes.
