(Book 31, Hadith 16) #36358
Definition of Crop Damage

SUMMARY: Crop damage is defined as any loss of a third or more for the purchaser.

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz decided in a case to make a reduction for crop damage. Malik said, "That is what we do in the situation". Malik added, "Crop damage is whatever causes loss of a third or more for the purchaser. Anything less is not counted as crop damage".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، قَضَى بِوَضْعِ الْجَائِحَةِ ‏.‏ قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَعَلَى ذَلِكَ الأَمْرُ عِنْدَنَا ‏.‏ قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَالْجَائِحَةُ الَّتِي تُوضَعُ عَنِ الْمُشْتَرِي الثُّلُثُ فَصَاعِدًا وَلاَ يَكُونُ مَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ جَائِحَةً

QUICK LESSONS:
Take measures to prevent losses from occurring
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the definition of crop damage. Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz was a leader in the Islamic community and he decided that crop damage is any loss of a third or more for the purchaser. Anything less than this amount is not considered to be crop damage. This hadith teaches us that we should be careful when dealing with our crops and take measures to prevent losses from occurring. We should also be aware that if there are losses, they must exceed one third in order to qualify as crop damage.
