How can the questioner, who owns a farm and a well but has no money, bring in a partner to work the land?

The permissible partnership in planting is through muzara'ah (sharecropping), which means entrusting land to someone to cultivate it in exchange for a known, common share of its yield. Scholars have differed regarding the permissibility of muzara'ah, but the majority of the Salaf (early Muslims) among the Companions and their successors, and it is the view of Al-Layth ibn Sa'd, Ahmad ibn Hanbal, and others, consider it permissible. This is based on the understanding that it is a partnership that differs from ijarah (leasing), where a specific amount of benefit and rent is stipulated. In muzara'ah, both parties share in the produce (profit) and the loss (deprivation), which is closer to justice. Ibn Taymiyyah clarified that muzara'ah is more lawful than leasing for a fixed price because it is further removed from gharar (excessive uncertainty) and gambling, which are forbidden. These issues arose when one party was stipulated to receive a fixed amount of the yield, while the other might receive nothing. Therefore, muzara'ah is undoubtedly permissible, whether the seeds are provided by the landowner or the worker, or by both, and whether it is phrased as ijarah or muzara'ah, and likewise for all similar arrangements.
