What is the ruling on selling a "land grant certificate" to a citizen, given that his effort is involved in its implementation?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the right is granted by the state for personal benefit, not for compensation, then it is not permissible to sell it, based on the hadith: "Muslims are bound by their conditions in what they have made lawful." However, if the state owns it and allows disposal of it, then it is permissible to relinquish it for a financial consideration.
