Hanzalah ibn Qays narrated from Rafi‘ ibn Khadij that his uncles said they leased land in the Prophet’s (ﷺ) time for what grows on the channels or what the owner stipulates. The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade this. I asked Rafi‘, “What about dirhams and dinars?” He said, “No harm in that.” The prohibition was for what the knowledgeable in halal and haram would not permit due to risk. .

(1) “What grows on the channels…”: They leased land for the worker to sow, with channel crops as rent, or a specific plot’s yield for the lessor, the rest for the lessee. This was forbidden due to risk, the basis for prohibition by those allowing muzara‘ah. [From Al-Luma‘at].

(۱) قوله: بما ينبت على الأربعاء والمعنى: أنهم كانوا يكرون الأرض على أن يزرعه العامل ببذره، ويكون ما ينبت على أطراف الجداول السواقي للمكري أجرة لأرضه، وما عدا ذلك للمكتري، أو ما كان ينبت في هذه القطعة بعينها فهو للمكري، وما ينبت بغيرها فهو للمكتري فنهاهم عن ذلك لما فيه من الخطر، وهذه الصورة محمل النهي عند المجوزين. كذا في «اللمعات».
