Alms Tax: Charging Rent for the Crop Staying on the Land

Practical Laws of Islam as per the teachings of Ayatullah Sistani

Ruling 1904

In case the owner submits the actual crop, dates, or grapes to a fully qualified jurist or to someone entitled to receive it, or to their representative, it is not necessary for him to look after it by way of joint ownership for free; rather, he can charge rent for it staying on his land until the time of their harvest or until they have become dry.
