The Nine Forms of Sale and Selling a Debt for a Debt

The questioner:
We find something regarding the importance of sales, and our Lord in a second recording. Due to the importance of the Book of Sales, and the desire to acquire issues regarding the types of sales you are on your way to, they gave an example of issuing the verse: item for item, item for debt, debt for item, debt for debt.

The Shaykh:
These are the nine forms of sale mentioned by the commentator in the explanation of al-Zad. Item for item, for example, current dirhams for a current commodity; this is item for item, meaning you receive a riyal and take a pen in exchange in the assembly; this is item for item. Item for debt, if the item is current and the price is deferred, for example, a pen delivered now for a deferred riyal; this is item for debt. Item for benefit, for example, you pay him money on the condition that he works for you; this money is the item you pay him, while the work he performs for you is a benefit; this is item for benefit. As for debt for debt, this is not permissible as previously stated. Debt for debt is not permissible because he was selling ten sa' of wheat deferred for 20 riyals deferred; nothing was received; both were deferred. This is forbidden and not permissible; this is selling a debt for a debt. Yes.

The questioner:
And always, meaning.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
Between its items.

The Shaykh:
You have dirhams in your liability; the person has dirhams in your liability. For example, food for a person, deferred food. The term for the deferred payment arrived. I said, "I do not have food now; I will not give it to you. I will sell you the bread that is in my liability." I will sell you the bread that is in my liability for two riyals. Take the dirhams now. This is selling a debt for an item. The debt is what is in your liability, the food that is in your liability, and the item is the dirhams that you delivered to the creditor. This is selling a debt for an item. Yes.
