Is the garment owner compelled to accept the value of the dye from the usurper in lieu of its removal?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Usurpation
Primary text
The garment owner is not compelled to accept the monetary value of the dye offered by the usurper in exchange for keeping the dye, as this would compel him to sell his property. However, it is plausible that he should be compelled to accept this payment if he does not opt for removal, drawing an analogy from trees and structures on preempted land, as this resolves the dispute without causing harm.

If the usurper merely gifts the dye to the owner, there are two opinions on whether acceptance is obligatory. One view suggests it is obligatory because the dye has become an attribute of the essential item, similar to an attribute increase in a subject of a forward contract (salam). The second view holds that acceptance is not compulsory because the dye is a distinct, separable entity.
