and it was possible for him not to pay them the rent, he was permitted to do so, because they are not entitled to it. It has been narrated that Sufyan stayed in some of the estates of Makkah, then fled without paying them rent, so they caught up with him and took it from him. When the action of Sufyan was mentioned to Ahmad, he smiled; the outward implication of this is that it pleased him. Ibn 'Aqil said: The disagreement pertains to places other than (27) the ritual sites; as for the ritual sites, such as the places of Sa'y and Ramy, their ruling is the ruling of mosques, without disagreement.
Section: Whoever constructs a building in Makkah using materials brought from outside the land of Makkah, it is permissible to sell it, just as it is permissible to sell the structures of endowments and their ruins. If it is made from the soil of the Haram and its stones, the permissibility of its sale is built upon the two narrations regarding the sale of Makkah's estates, because it is subordinate to Makkah, and the same applies to the soil of every endowment and its ruins. Ahmad said: As for building in Makkah, I dislike it. Ishaq said: Building in Makkah with the intent of exclusive personal ownership is not lawful. It has been narrated that the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) was asked: "Will you not build a house for yourself in Mina?" He replied: "Mina is the resting place for whoever (28) arrives first" (29).
Section: Ahmad said: I do not know of any concession for the sale of Mus-hafs (copies of the Qur'an), though he granted a concession for purchasing them, saying: "Purchasing is easier." Ibn 'Umar, Ibn 'Abbas, Abu Musa, Sa'id ibn Jubayr, and Ishaq disliked selling them. Ibn 'Umar said: "I wish that hands would be cut off for selling them." Abu al-Khattab said: "The sale of a Mus-haf is permissible, albeit with dislike." As to whether purchasing and exchanging them is disliked, there are two narrations. Al-Hasan, al-Hakam, 'Ikrimah, al-Shafi'i, and the People of Opinion (Ashab al-Ra'y) granted a concession for their sale because the sale pertains to the leather and the paper, and the sale of those is permissible. As for us,

فأمْكَنَهُ أن لا يَدْفَعَ إليهم الأُجْرَةَ، جازَ له ذلك؛ لأنَّهم لا يَسْتَحِقُّونها، وقد رُوِىَ أنَّ سُفْيَانَ سَكَنَ فى بعضِ رِباعِ مَكَّةَ، وهَرَبَ، ولم يُعْطِهم أُجْرَةً، فأَدْرَكُوه، فأخَذُوها منه. وذُكِرَ لأحمدَ فِعْلُ سُفْيَانَ، فتَبَسَّمَ، فظاهِرُ هذا، أنَّه أعْجَبَه. قال ابن عَقِيلٍ: والخِلافُ فى غيرِ (٢٧) مَواضِعِ المَناسِكِ، أمَّا بِقاعُ المَناسِكِ كمَوْضِعِ السَّعْىِ والرَّمْىِ، فحُكْمُه حُكْمُ المساجِدِ، بغيرِ خِلافٍ.
فصل: ومَن بَنَى بِناءً بِمَكَّةَ، بآلةٍ مَجْلُوبَةٍ مِنْ غيرِ أرْضِ مَكَّةَ، جازَ بَيْعُها، كما يجوزُ بَيْعُ أبْنِيَةِ الوُقُوفِ وأنْقاضِهَا. وإن كانت مِنْ تُرابِ الحَرَمِ وحِجارَتِه، انبَنَى جَوازُ بَيْعِها على الرِّوَايَتَيْنِ فى بَيْعِ رِباعِ مَكَّةَ؛ لأنَّها تابِعَةٌ لِمَكَّةَ، وهكذا تُرابُ كلِّ وَقْفٍ وأنْقاضُه. قال أحمدُ. أمَّا البِناءُ بمَكَّةَ فإنِّى أكْرَهُه. قال إسْحاقُ: البِناءُ بمَكَّةَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الاسْتِخْلاصِ لِنَفسِه، لا يَحِلُّ. وقد رُوِىَ أنَّ النَّبِىَّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- قيل له: ألَا تَبْنِى لك بِمِنًى بَيْتًا؟ قال: "مِنًى مُنَاخُ مَنْ (٢٨) سَبَقَ" (٢٩).
فصل: قال أحمدُ: لا أعْلَمُ فى بَيْعِ المَصاحِفِ رُخْصَةً. ورَخَّصَ فى شِرائها. وقال: الشِّرَاءُ أهوَنُ. وكَرِهَ بَيْعَها ابنُ عُمَرَ، وابنُ عَبَّاسٍ، وأبو موسى، وسَعِيدُ ابن جُبَيْرٍ، وإسْحاقُ. وقال ابن عمرَ: وَدَدْتُ أنَّ الأيْدِى تُقْطَعُ فى بَيْعِها. وقال أبو الخَطَّابِ: يجوزُ بَيْعُ المُصْحَفِ، مع الكَراهَةِ. وهل يُكْرَهُ شِراؤُه وإبْدالُه؟ على رِوايَتَيْنِ. ورَخَّصَ فى بَيْعِها الحَسَنُ، والحَكَمُ، وعِكْرِمَةُ، والشَّافِعِىُّ، وأصْحابُ الرَّأْىِ؛ لأنَّ البَيْعَ يَقَعُ على الجِلْدِ، والوَرَقِ، وبَيْعُ ذلك مُباحٌ. ولَنا،
