Renting the land is not permissible if the Ministry of Agriculture did not designate it for the tenant and did not specify the time of its handover. This is because it involves an unknown factor regarding the leased property itself and the time of benefiting from it. The leased land must be designated and seen; description alone is not sufficient. Therefore, renting that land is not permissible, and the first tenant does not have the right to lease it out.
