The ruling on taking the remainder from the baker the next day

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If I buy from the baker, for example, for three riyals, and I give him ten riyals, and he says to me, "Come tomorrow and take the rest," is this transaction permissible? And is it a currency exchange before the sale?

Answer:
If he says, "Come immediately and I will give you the six riyals," this is not permissible because the separation occurs before the agreement. If he says to you, "Come immediately and I will give you bread; I will give you bread as these riyals run out, giving you one riyal's worth each day until these riyals are finished," there is nothing wrong with that. You have taken this from the chapter of Salam (forward sale), where it is permissible to give him an amount and take from him meat every day, or take from him bread every day; there is nothing wrong with that due to the people's need for such a thing. Yes.
