What is the ruling on purchasing, utilizing, and residing on agricultural reform lands, knowing that these lands were confiscated by the United Arab Republic (Syria and Egypt) from large feudal landlords and distributed to farmers for utilization, and then ownership was granted to them?
If the lands are still usurped and their price has not been paid to their owners, nor have the owners accepted it as compensation for them, then it is not permissible to purchase them, because the seller does not own them, and it is not permissible for anyone to sell what he does not own.
