وَ سَأَلَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ أَخَاهُ مُوسَى بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْبُسْتَانِ لاَ تُبَاعُ غَلَّتُهُ وَ لَوْ بِيعَتْ بَلَغَتْ غَلَّتُهَا مَالاً فَهَلْ تَجِبُ فِيهِ صَدَقَةٌ قَالَ» لاَ إِذَا كَانَتْ تُؤْكَلُ«.
Ali ibn Jafar asked his brother Imam Musa ibn Ja’far عليه السلام, peace be upon them both, about ‘an orchard whose produce is not sold, though if it were sold, its produce would amount to wealth. Is charity obligatory in it?’ Imam عليه السلام said: “No, if it is eaten.”
