Chapter on Sharecropping and Leasing

Safwan bin Yahya narrated from Abu Muhammad Al-Khayyat, from Mujammi', who said: I said to Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, "I take on garments to sew and then give them to young workers, keeping one-third and giving them two-thirds. Is this permissible?" Imam عليه السلام said: "Don't you also work on them?" I said: "I cut the fabric and buy the threads for them." Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no harm in that."
