This normative research aims to analyse the legal ramifications of violating the concept of freedom of contract in agricultural product sharing from the viewpoints of Islamic law.  This result of this article found that the implementing of the revenue sharing system did not get a fair share, this was because at the time of the contract, farmers were in a weak position due to the need for money for children's education and other emergency needs, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic.  The owner of the land has the right to obtain part of the crop on the farm managed by the cultivator and receive back the return of the land upon completion of the agreement.
