Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Regarding the ruling on calamities (jawa'ih), he says the loss falls on the seller, not the buyer. Why is it not divided between them?
Answer:
Because calamities are applied when the buyer is unable to take possession of the fruit, and the calamity strikes it while he has not harvested it. Therefore, the calamity is borne by him.Sahih Muslim 1555c?
