Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah keep you safe. A man gave one thousand riyals for a forward sale (salam) with a contract that he would give him one hundred kilograms of dates in the month of Rajab, but the price in the market increased, and he said, give me eighty kilograms. Is that permissible?

Answer:
No, no, by Allah, may Allah keep you safe.

The presenter:
Or if the price is cheap, he is restricted to the dates he sold in his debt, without looking at their prevailing value.
