The Ruling on Paying Money in Exchange for Barley at Harvest
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: A man gave another man money on the condition that he would take barley from him when the time of harvest arrived, but he fixed the price of the barley at the time of paying the amount. Is this permissible, or does he take the barley at the price of the time of delivery?
The Shaykh:
After the adhan.
The questioner:
And the other thing: real estate or camels, after he takes barley from him when the time of harvest arrives, but he fixed the price of the barley at the time of delivering the amount. Is this permissible, or does he take the barley at a single price?
The Shaykh:
This salam, if he gave him dirhams on the condition that he would pay him the equivalent in barley at harvest, with the price of the kilo being, for example, five riyals or one riyal, this is a salam debt. This is fine, there is no harm in it.
