The possessor was in the field for three years but missed exactly one day. Does he have chazakah?
The three years must be complete day-to-day. Even one day short and the chazakah is not established.
Question 2
A possessor leaves a field fallow for three years without planting. Does he establish chazakah?
Actual benefit — not mere control — is required. A field left fallow year after year establishes no chazakah, even if the possessor did not abandon it.
Question 3
Two partners possessed a field together for six years, each farming for three years alternately. Do they establish chazakah?
Each partner benefited for three years in total. Partners can combine their periods — each establishes chazakah over their share.
Question 4
A possessor benefited from fruit trees in someone's field for three years. Does this establish chazakah over the entire field?
Trees and land are distinct. Three years of benefiting from trees establishes chazakah over the trees alone — not the surrounding ground.
Question 5
A possessor harvested a field only as straw (animal fodder) for three years. Does this establish chazakah?
Chazakah requires using the land in the normal manner associated with ownership. Harvesting only straw — which is incidental to grain production — is not the normal use pattern.
