Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Three. Yes, but Shaykh, what are the subdivisions? The subdivisions on selling wheat for wheat, barley for barley, dates for dates, and salt for salt. What is the need of people today for this? Do people not buy
The Shaykh : this from Africa?
The questioner : Even from their own sons.
The Shaykh : They do not have much currency.
The questioner : Because of that.
The Shaykh : Because they do not have a common currency. You find them trading like this: he sells you a bull, and you sell him a cow; a bull for a cow, a donkey for a horse, and the like.
The questioner : And as for us, apparently, it does not exist.
The Shaykh : No, praise be to Allah, it is not present with us because we have plenty of coins.
