The Difference Between Measuring by Volume and Weighing in Salam

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: In the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), “a known measure and a known weight,” he asks: What is the difference between measuring by volume and weighing? And is one acceptable in place of the other?

Answer:
No. What is measured by volume remains measured by volume, such as grains and fruits. And what is weighed, such as dates and raisins, is weighed. Yes.
