Chapter on Sharecropping and Leasing
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 2|Chapter 14
وَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلاً اِسْتَأْجَرَ دَاراً بِعَشَرَةِ دَرَاهِمَ فَسَكَنَ ثُلُثَيْهَا وَ آجَرَ ثُلُثَهَا بِعَشَرَةِ دَرَاهِمَ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِهِ بَأْسٌ وَ لَكِنْ لاَ يُؤَاجِرْهَا بِأَكْثَرَ مِمَّا اِسْتَأْجَرَهَا.
If a man rents a house for ten dirhams, lives in two-thirds of it, and subleases one-third of it for ten dirhams, there is no harm in that. However, he must not sublease it for more than what he rented it for.
