Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to enter into a forward sale of bread for, say, five hundred riyals, when the price of bread is one riyal, but the duration is not specified? Rather, he said, "When the amount is finished, the contract is finished." Is this permissible?
Answer:
This is not permissible. It is unknown. It is necessary to specify the duration, and to specify what he takes from each day. It must not be unknown, so that he does not know what he takes from him each day, and does not know what the duration is. No, it is necessary to specify what is taken each day, to specify the duration, and to specify the price. Yes.
