The Option in the Sale of a Pregnant Animal and Returning the Sa' by Its Value
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is the option in the sale of a pregnant animal based on the animal or the land? Does it begin from the start of the contract or from the start of the pregnancy?
The Shaykh:
Frankly. Listen.
The questioner:
And regarding the return, may Allah reward you, meaning the return of the sa', is it possible to return its value?
The Shaykh:
If he objects, it is obligatory to give a sa'. If he objects to the value, or objects to something else, it is a sa' of rice, or a sa' of wheat, or a sa' of such and such. If he objects to that, it is their right if they are not pleased with it. But the obligation is a sa' of dates. If the dates are good, he does not object to a sa' of dates if he is able. Otherwise, it is the value.
