Rules of Taxation for Irrigated Crops

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught about the rules of taxation for crops that are irrigated by different means.

It was narrated from Salim, from his father, that the Messenger of Allah said: "For whatever is irrigated by the sky, rivers and springs, or draws up water from deep roots, one-tenth. For whatever is irrigated by animals and artificial means, one half of one-tenth".
أَخْبَرَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْهَيْثَمِ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الأَيْلِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ فِيمَا سَقَتِ السَّمَاءُ وَالأَنْهَارُ وَالْعُيُونُ أَوْ كَانَ بَعْلاً الْعُشْرُ وَمَا سُقِيَ بِالسَّوَانِي وَالنَّضْحِ نِصْفُ الْعُشْرِ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught about the rules of taxation for crops that are irrigated by different means. He said that if a crop is irrigated by rainwater, rivers or springs then one-tenth should be taken as tax. If it is irrigated with animals or artificial means then half of one-tenth should be taken as tax. This hadith teaches us to pay taxes on our income and to use resources responsibly and efficiently so we can benefit from them in the long run. It also teaches us to be fair when it comes to taxation and not take more than what is due from people who work hard to earn their living through agriculture or other means.
