Summary
Selling mixed soil, organic soil and the like is not covered by the prohibition in this hadith. The hadith forbids selling camel semen, water and land for cultivation, and the prohibition on land refers to an owner who leases land to a cultivator on condition that part of the yield goes to the owner. The prohibition applies because of gharar, since the yield given to the owner may be good while the rest is spoiled. Renting out land is permissible if it is free of gharar and the rental period and amount are clearly known.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Setiap individu yang melakukan perniagaan menjual tanah campuran, tanah organik dan seumpama dengannya tidak termasuk dalam larangan hadis tersebut.
