The Salam Contract in Barley by Paying the Price in Advance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A man gave another man money on the condition that he would take barley from him when the time of its harvest arrived, but he did not bring the barley at the time of settling the amount. Is this permissible, or does he take the barley at the price of its time?
The Shaykh:
After the adhan.
The questioner:
And the other thing: he gave [money] to [someone] or [agreed] after he would take barley from him when the time of harvest arrived, but he did not [deliver] the barley from the time of delivering the amount. Is this permissible, or does he take the barley at its [current] 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, yes.
