and yield generated from it in a different form and nature—such as dates from palm trees, milk, cheese and wool from livestock, and the like; and yields not generated by the seized property, such as rental payments, revenues, and the like.

As for yield generated in its own form and likeness, namely offspring, their disagreement is as follows: the person who seized the property must return the offspring together with the mother if she is still alive. If the mother has died, the owner may choose between the offspring and the mother's value.

As for yield generated in a different form and nature, they hold two views:

The first is that it belongs to the person who seized the property because he bears liability for it, and he is not required to return it, according to the apparent meaning of the Prophet's words (peace and blessings be upon him): “Entitlement to yield accompanies liability for loss.”

The second is that he must return it, if it still exists, together with the seized property itself; or pay its value if he claims that it has been lost and his statement is the only evidence of that loss. If the seized property itself is lost, the owner may choose either to require him to pay its value, with no entitlement to the yield, or to take the yield, with no entitlement to compensation for the property's value.

As for yields not generated by the property itself, they hold five views:

The first is that he is not required to return them at all, without distinction.

The second is that he must return them in all cases, without distinguishing between whether he rents out the property, uses it himself, or tethers it.

The third is that he must return them if he rents out the property, but not if he uses it himself or leaves it idle.

The fourth is that he must return them if he rents out the property or uses it himself, but not if he leaves it idle.

The fifth distinguishes between animals and immovable property.

All of this concerns yield obtained from the seized property while the property itself remains intact and in existence.

As for yield obtained by putting the property into circulation, disposing of it, or transforming its substance—as when someone seizes dinars
