Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And here, Shaykh, are barley, wheat, and wheat of the same kind, or not?

Answer:
The majority of scholars hold that barley and wheat are two different kinds. The majority hold that wheat is one kind and barley is another kind, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said
Barley for barley, dates for dates, and wheat for wheatالبر بالبر والتمر بالتمر والشعير بالشعير
Sunan ad-Darimi 18:49
So they are two kinds. According to Imam Malik, barley and wheat are of the same kind, but the majority hold that they are two kinds, and that is the correct view. Yes.
