Fabrika o'zida shaxsiy mulklardan biridir. U shaxslar tomonidan egalik qilinishi mumkin bo'lgan narsalar qatoriga kiradi. Payg'ambar (alayhissalom) davrida shaxslarning poyabzal, kiyim-kechak, qilich va boshqa mollarni ishlab chiqaradigan fabrikalarga egalik qilgani sobit bo'lgan. Payg'ambar (ﷺ) ularning roziligini bildirgan va ular tomonidan Minbar yasatgan, bu esa fabrikalarning shaxsiy mulk sifatida egalik qilinishi joizligini ko'rsatadi. Lekin fabrikaning hukmi u ishlab chiqaradigan mahsulotning tabiati bilan belgilanadi. Buning dalili shuki, musulmonlarga sharob ishlab chiqaradigan fabrikalarga egalik qilish man etilgan. Chunki hadisda Alloh (subhanahu va taolo) sharobni siquvchini va buni buyurtma qilganni la'natlagan. Demak, sharobni siqishning man etilishi siqishning o'zi emas, balki aynan sharob tayyorlash uchun siqishning man etilishidir. Shunday ekan, siqish harom emas, balki spirtli ichimlik ishlab chiqarish uchun qilingan siqish haromdir. Shunga ko'ra, spirtli ichimliklar fabrikasining man etilishi u ishlab chiqaradigan moddalarning man etilishidan kelib chiqadi. Shu tariqa, fabrikaning hukmi u ishlab chiqarayotgan moddaning hukmi bilan bir xil ekani ayon bo'ladi. Shuning uchun fabrikalarni tekshirish lozim: agar ular ishlab chiqarayotgan mahsulotlar jamoat mulkiga kirmasa, u holda bu fabrikalar shaxsiy mulk hisoblanadi, masalan shirinlik, to'quvchilik, duradgorlik va shunga o'xshash fabrikalar. Ammo agar fabrikalar jamoat mulki hisoblangan moddalarni ishlab chiqarsa, masalan sanoqsiz (tugamaydigan) ma'danlarni qayta ishlaydigan ma'dan fabrikalari bo'lsa, u holda ularni jamoat bo'lib egallash joiz bo'ladi, chunki fabrika ishlab chiqaradigan modda oltin, kumush, temir, mis yoki neft (moy) bo'lsin, xuddi spirtli ichimlik fabrikasining hukmi spirtli ichimlikning man etilish hukmiga ergashgani kabi. Bu fabrikalarga davlat egalik qilishi ham joizdir, chunki davlat musulmonlar nomidan, ularning manfaatlari uchun bu minerallarni ishlab chiqarishga majburdir. Bu fabrikalarga shaxslar egalik qilishi ham joizdir; bunda davlat ularni kelishilgan belgilangan miqdor evaziga ijaraga olishi mumkin. Biroq, asboblar va fabrikalarning shaxslar mulkida bo'lishi ularga bu sanoqsiz (tugamaydigan) minerallarni o'z manfaatlari uchun ishlab chiqarishda foydalanish huquqini bermaydi, chunki bu minerallar barcha musulmonlarning umumiy mulkidir. Hech bir shaxsga ham ularni boshqalarni chetlatib egallashi joiz emas, lekin ular belgilangan aniq miqdor evaziga davlatga ijaraga berishlari mumkin, davlat esa ularni bu minerallarni ishlab chiqarish uchun ishlatadi. Temirni qayta ishlab, list (taxta) holiga keltiradigan zavodlar, avtomobil zavodlari va shunga o'xshash, ashyolari shaxsiy mulkka tegishli bo'lgan fabrikalarga esa, ularni har qanday shaxs egallashi joiz, chunki ular ishlab chiqaradigan mahsulotlar umumiy mulk ashyolaridan emas. Shunday ekan, ishlab chiqarilgan mahsuloti umumiy mulkka tegishli bo'lgan har bir fabrikani ommaviy tarzda, ya'ni davlat yoki davlat ijaraga olishi joiz bo'lgan shaxslar egalik qilishi mumkin. Xuddi shunday, ishlab chiqarilgan mahsuloti xususiy mulkka tegishli bo'lgan har bir fabrika shaxslar egaligida bo'lishi joiz, chunki bu shaxsiy mulkka taalluqlidir.

The factory, in its essence, is one of the individual properties. It is one of the things which is allowed to be owned by individuals. It has been confirmed that individuals used to own factories at the time of the Prophet (pbuh), such as those for manufacturing shoes, dresses (clothes), swords and other goods. The Prophet (pbuh) consented to them and He had the Minbar manufactured by them, which indicates that the individual ownership of factories is allowed. But the Hukm (divine rule) of the factory is decided by the nature of the material which it manufactures, and the evidence of this is that the Muslims are prohibited to possess factories that produce wine, according to the Hadith which states that Allah (swt) cursed the one who presses (grape to make) the wine and the one who orders this to be done. So the prohibition of pressing wine is not prohibition of pressing as such, rather it is prohibition of pressing wine specifically. Thus, pressing is not Haram (prohibited), rather it is the pressing to produce alcohol which is the Haram (prohibited) matter. Accordingly, the prohibition of the alcohol factory results from the prohibition of the materials it produces. In this way, it appears that the rule of the factory is the same rule of the material it produces. Therefore, factories have to be examined: if the materials produced by them are not of the public properties, then theses factories are of the individual properties, such as the factories of sweets, textiles, carpentry and the like. However, if the factories were for manufacturing materials which are of the public property, such as the factories of minerals which process the uncountable (undepleted) minerals, then it is allowed for them to be owned publicly, due to the material which the factory produces, be it gold, silver, iron, copper or petrol (oil), in the same way that the rule of the alcohol factory follows the rule of alcohol in prohibition. These factories are also allowed to be owned by the government, since the State is obliged to produce these minerals on behalf of the Muslims, for the purpose of their interest. These factories are also allowed to be owned by individuals, where the State can hire them for a certain amount, which is agreed upon. However, the ownership by individuals, of the tools and factories does not allow them to use them in producing these uncountable (undepleted) minerals for themselves, because these minerals are public properties for all the Muslims. Nor is any individual allowed to own them to the exclusion of others, but they are allowed to rent them to the State for a certain defined amount, where the State uses them to produce these minerals. As for the factories which treat iron and transform it to sheets, the car factories and the like, whose materials are of the individual ownership, any individual is allowed to own them, because the materials which they produce are not from the materials of the public property. Therefore, every factory whose manufactured product is of the public property, is allowed to be owned publicly, or by the State or by individuals from whom the State is allowed to hire. Likewise, every factory whose manufactured product is of the private property, is allowed to be owned by individuals because this is from the individual ownership.
