Selling Barley and Wheat After Mixing Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the prohibition of selling barley and wheat after mixing them absolute? Or is it only when it is sold as barley or wheat?
Answer:
If the mixing is slight and it is customary, it does no harm. But if the mixing is substantial, it is not permissible. He says: "This is wheat mixed with barley," and he specifies the ratio of wheat to barley, whether it is half, a quarter, or a third. It is not permissible for him to sell it as wheat when it is mixed with a lot of barley. As for slight mixing, it does no harm, because wheat rarely comes free of barley, and because this does not affect the wheat. Yes. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon him. Yes.
