Selling Vegetables and So On

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‌ لَا بَأْسَ بِأَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ زَرْعاً أَخْضَرَ ثُمَّ تَتْرُكَهُ حَتَّى تَحْصُدَهُ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَوْ تَعْلِفَهُ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يُسَنْبِلَ وَ هُوَ حَشِيشٌ وَ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ أَيْضاً أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ زَرْعاً قَدْ سَنْبَلَ وَ بَلَغَ بِحِنْطَةٍ.

“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is not unlawful to buy a plantation when it is green, then leave it until the harvest time, if you like or use it for animal feed before wheat ears appear when it is only grass.’ He (the Imam) has said, ‘It is not unlawful to buy plantations in which the ears have appeared and whe

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَ يَحِلُّ شِرَاءُ الزَّرْعِ أَخْضَرَ قَالَ نَعَمْ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ.

“Upon my asking abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about buying a plantation when it only is green, he (the Imam) said, ‘It is not unlawful.’”

لَا بَأْسَ بِأَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ الزَّرْعَ أَوِ الْقَصِيلَ أَخْضَرَ ثُمَّ تَتْرُكَهُ إِنْ شِئْتَ حَتَّى يُسَنْبِلَ ثُمَّ تَحْصُدَهُ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ تَعْلِفَ دَابَّتَكَ قَصِيلًا فَلَا بَأْسَ بِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسَنْبِلَ فَأَمَّا إِذَا سَنْبَلَ فَلَا تَعْلِفْهُ رَأْساً[3] فَإِنَّهُ فَسَادٌ.

“He (the Imam) (a.s.), has said, ‘It is not unlawful to buy a plantation or greenery, then leave it, if you like, until the ears appear, then harvest, or if you like use it as animal feed as grass and it is not unlawful before ears appear, and when the ears appear then do not use it (ears) as animal feed because it is

لَا بَأْسَ إِذَا قَالَ أَبْتَاعُ مِنْكَ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْ هَذَا الزَّرْعِ فَإِذَا اشْتَرَاهُ وَ هُوَ حَشِيشٌ فَإِنْ شَاءَ أَعْفَاهُ‌[1] وَ إِنْ شَاءَ تَرَبَّصَ بِهِ.

“I buy from you what comes out of this plantation.” If he buys it when it is only grass he can use it or if he likes he can wait (until harvest time).”’

نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَنِ الْمُحَاقَلَةِ وَ الْمُزَابَنَةِ[2] قُلْتُ وَ مَا هُوَ قَالَ أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ حَمْلَ النَّخْلِ بِالتَّمْرِ وَ الزَّرْعَ بِالْحِنْطَةِ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, prohibited al- Muhaqalah and al-Muzabanah .’ I then asked, ‘What are they?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is selling what a palm tree has just conceived in exchange for

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ شِرَاءِ الْقَصِيلِ يَشْتَرِيهِ الرَّجُلُ فَلَا يَقْصِلُهُ وَ يَبْدُو لَهُ فِي تَرْكِهِ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ سُنْبُلُهُ شَعِيراً أَوْ حِنْطَةً وَ قَدِ اشْتَرَاهُ مِنْ أَصْلِهِ عَلَى أَنَّ مَا بِهِ مِنْ خَرَاجٍ عَلَى الْعِلْجِ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ اشْتَرَطَ حِينَ اشْتَرَاهُ إِنْ شَاءَ قَطَعَهُ وَ إِنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَهُ كَمَا هُوَ حَتَّى يَكُونَ سُنْبُلًا وَ إِلَّا فَلَا يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَتْرُكَهُ حَتَّى يَكُو

“Upon my asking abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who buys green plantation, then he decides to leave it until ears appear as barley or wheat when basically he had purchased as such that the tax is on the infidel to pay. He (the Imam) said, ‘If he has bought it with the condition at the time of purchase that if he lik

‌ نَحْوَهُ وَ زَادَ فِيهِ فَإِنْ فَعَلَ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ طَسْقَهُ وَ نَفَقَتَهُ وَ لَهُ مَا خَرَجَ مِنْهُ‌[3]

“Sama‘ah has narrated a similar Hadith from abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), with this addition, ‘If he leaves it until ears appear, he is responsible for its maintenance and expenses and he can have whatever comes out thereof.”’

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ زَرَعَ زَرْعاً مُسْلِماً كَانَ أَوْ مُعَاهَداً فَأَنْفَقَ فِيهِ نَفَقَةً ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُ فِي بَيْعِهِ لِنَقْلِهِ يَنْتَقِلُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ أَوْ لِحَاجَةٍ قَالَ يَشْتَرِيهِ بِالْوَرِقِ فَإِنَّ أَصْلَهُ طَعَامٌ.

‘He can buy it (with al-warzq, as leaves not as grains) because its origin is from foodstuff.’”

رَخَّصَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِي الْعَرَايَا بِأَنْ تُشْتَرَى بِخِرْصِهَا تَمْراً وَ قَالَ الْعَرَايَا جَمْعُ عَرِيَّةٍ وَ هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ تَكُونُ لِلرَّجُلِ فِي دَارِ رَجُلٍ آخَرَ فَيَجُوزُ لَهُ أَنْ يَبِيعَهَا بِخِرْصِهَا تَمْراً وَ لَا يَجُوزُ ذَلِكَ فِي غَيْرِهِ.

Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, granted permission for the sale of al-‘Ara’ya ’ by estimating it as dates. Al-‘Ara’ya’ is a palm tree that belongs to someone but it is in other person’s house, in
