The Difference Between What Is Measured by Volume and What Is Weighed

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the difference between what is measured by volume and what is weighed?

Answer:
What is measured by volume is measured with a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) or a container, whereas what is weighed is weighed with a balance and a weight placed on the two pans of the scale. As for what is measured by volume, it is measured with the sa' and its derivatives.
