How can the right of a partner who left work on the tomato farm before the end of the season and the harvesting of all the fruits be estimated, knowing that he was entitled to one-quarter of the production jointly, and the season is still in its beginning?

The contract between the individuals and the landowner is a muzara'ah (sharecropping) contract. Rescinding the contract after the fruit has appeared makes the party who rescinded a partner in it, entitling them to one-quarter of one-third of the harvest. They are obligated to complete the work or appoint someone to complete it on their behalf, and they may sell their share.

If one of the partners agrees to buy their share for an agreed-upon price to take their place, there is no objection. If the party who rescinded refuses to complete the work or appoint a representative, and their two partners volunteer to complete their work, they are entitled to their full share. If the two partners do not wish to volunteer, the landowner may refer the matter to a judge to compel the worker or to hire someone to take their place. If judicial recourse is not possible, the employer should have witnesses to their expenditure for hiring someone to complete the work, so they can claim that expenditure from the worker.
