Sahih Muslim Hadith 3952 – Leasing Out Land

English

[3952] 116 – ( … ) Hanzalah bin Qais A1-AnsârI said: "I asked Râfi' bin IiadIj about leasing out land for gold and silver. He said: 'There is nothing wrong with that. Rather at the time of the Prophet the people used to rent land in return for what grows along the water channels, and at the springs, and in some parts of the fields, but one part would be destroyed while another part would be safe, or vice versa, and this was the only way in which people leased out land. So this was forbidden. As for something that is specified and guaranteed, there is nothing wrong with it."
