Form: 3

Full Definition

مُزَارَعَةٌIII is of the measure مُفَاعَلَةٌ, [denoting a mutual action,] from الزِّرَاعَةُ, and its signification is well known; i. e. The making a contract, or bargain, with another, for labour upon land, [to till and sow and cultivate it, as is indicated in the Mgh and Msb,] for a share, or portion, of its produce, the seed being from the owner of the land. [You say, زَارَعَهُ He made with him a contract, or bargain, such as is above described; and in like manner, خَابَرَهُ, and آكَرَهُ. The doing this is forbidden, because of the uncertainty of the result.]
