judgment is given, in consideration of his watering and tending them. This is transmitted by Īsā from Ibn al-Qāsim. Another view is that the landowner owes the planter the value of half his trees on the day they reached maturity and full growth, together with remuneration for tending them from that day until judgment is given. This is Ibn Habīb’s position in al-Wādiha. In all these cases, the yield is shared between them according to their stipulation.

The correct view is the one we stated first: the landowner owes half the value of the planter’s trees, assessed as uprooted on the day he planted them, together with the customary remuneration for planting and tending them until judgment is given. This accords with the view that half the trees belong to the planter and half to the landowner. Allah alone grants success, and all praise belongs to Him alone.
