Is it permissible to sell land that has been cultivated and planted with trees a long time ago, and the seller does not own it, but it became clear that it has no owner, with the buyer stipulating the return of his money if an owner appears? And is it permissible to benefit from the money generated by this sale?
Your father and your uncle may have acquired ownership of the mentioned land by reviving it, so there is no blame upon them for selling it and benefiting from its price. The buyer is entitled to reclaim his money if the land is proven to belong to someone else.
