The ruling on selling what is in the wombs and backs, and an explanation of the cancellation of a sale

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Rather, all of this is obligatory and not valid. Even if there is weakness in the chain of the hadith, the meaning is correct; the meaning is that it is not valid, because this is a purpose contrary to nature, which is not permissible. One only sells something that exists and is sound, such as an existing camel, an existing goat, or an existing cow, even if it is small, or other existing things that can be seen. As for what is in the wombs and backs, it is not sold. The second hadith says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

The meaning of the cancellation of the sale is the rescission of the contract, because the buyer may be harmed; he may request the cancellation of the sale because he feels he was deceived, or for other reasons.

If he says, "Allah affirmed it," and Allah the Exalted says:
And do good; indeed, Allah loves the doers of good.وَأَحْسِنُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ
[Al-Baqarah 2:195]
Indeed, the mercy of Allah is near to the doers of good.إِنَّ رَحْمَتَ اللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ مِّنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ
[Al-A'raf 7:56]
But it is not obligatory for him to cancel the sale unless there is a legal reason, such as deception, or being overcharged, or betrayal. If not, he is not obligated to cancel it, but it is recommended for him to cancel the sale, and if he did not...
