lease agreement and the validity of the document which is the original of this copy ?
Have Alhadi Hassan -ibn-Ali-ibn-Samaih, who is mentioned in the copy ot the original,
ard his partners the right of user according to the religious law ? Is it permissible ior
him to give it to another or not ? May Sheikh Salim-ibn-Sultan prevent Alhadj Hassan
and his partners from extracting the oxide in question, because he has previously let it ?
Is this document valid or not ? Explain it to us and you will oe ie^ardea.
Opinion.
The answer. O God (grant) success and guidance to truth !
Open mines, such as sulphur, red oxide, and bromium mines, do not by being
worked become property to be freely disposed of, and no one may let open mines, since
such may be freely used by anyone and are common property.
