Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man gave a thousand riyals for a salam contract, agreeing that he would be given one hundred kilograms of dates in the month of Rajab. However, the price increased in the market, and he said, “Give me eighty kilograms.” Is that permissible?
Answer:
No. He is required to provide the dates, whether the price is high or low. He must provide the dates for which the salam was made, without regard to whether their value has increased or decreased. Yes.
