Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: In Egypt, some merchants buy crops, such as watermelons, and then go and sell them while they are still in the same place; they have not moved them or gathered them. Is the sale valid? If he sees them, if their appearance is visible, and he bought them and inspected them,
Answer:
then he may sell them even if he has not picked them or gathered them; because they are visible and known, just as if he bought palm fruit on the palm trees, it is permissible for him to sell them if he has inspected and seen them. Yes.
