سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ اكْتَرَى أَرْضاً مِنْ أَرْضِ أَهْلِ الذِّمَّةِ مِنَ الْخَرَاجِ وَ أَهْلُهَا كَارِهُونَ وَ إِنَّمَا تَقَبَّلَهَا مِنَ السُّلْطَانِ لِعَجْزِ أَهْلِهَا عَنْهَا أَوْ غَيْرِ عَجْزٍ فَقَالَ إِذَا عَجَزَ أَرْبَابُهَا عَنْهَا فَلَكَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَهَا إِلَّا أَنْ يُضَارُّوا وَ إِنْ أَعْطَيْتَهُمْ شَيْئاً فَسَخَتْ أَنْفُسُ أَهْلِهَا لَكُمْ بِهَا فَخُذُوهَا قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ اشْتَرَى مِنْهُمْ أَرْضاً مِنْ أَرَاضِي الْخَرَاجِ فَبَنَى فِيهَا أَوْ لَمْ يَبْنِ غَيْرَ أَنَّ أُنَاساً مِنْ أَهْلِ الذِّمَّةِ نَزَلُوهَا أَ لَهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنْهُمْ أُجُورَ الْبُيُوتِ إِذَا أَدَّوْا جِزْيَةَ رُءُوسِهِمْ قَالَ يُشَارِطُهُمْ فَمَا أَخَذَ بَعْدَ الشَّرْطِ فَهُوَ حَلَالٌ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin yahya, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al hakam and Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al Hassan Bin Muhammad, from someone else, from Aban Bin Usman, from Ismail Bin Al Fazl Al Hashimy who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about a man who leases a land from the lands of the Zimmy, from the tax, and its inhabitants were unwilling, and rather they contracted it from the Sultan (ruling authority) due to the frustration (from paying) of its inhabitants, or without frustration’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When its owners are frustrated from it, so it is for you if you were to take these, unless you would be harming them, and if you were to give them something, so the selves of its inhabitants are agreeable with it, so take it’. He (the narrator) said: ‘And I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about a man who buys from them a land from the lands of the taxation, so he builds there, or does not build, apart that people from the zimmy lodge therein. Is it for him that he takes rent of the houses from them when they pay their personal taxes?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He should stipulate to them. So wheatever he takes after the stipulation, so it is Permissible’.
