Are farmers who have worked on a man's land for years for a certain percentage entitled to preemption (shufa'a) of the land after its owner sells it without their permission, or are they entitled to receive a sum of money from the buyer as compensation for damages, and what is the ruling if they have already taken this sum?

The owner of the land is not obliged to bear the damage incurred by the workers due to the loss of the land, because they are not partners in it; rather, they are hired laborers. Therefore, they must look for other work instead of the work they lost on that land. And let them not wrong its owner by encroaching upon his property, for that is forbidden to them unless he willingly gives them something.
