Is it permissible to sell a sheep for a sheep that has a fetus in its womb?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to sell a sheep for a sheep that has a fetus in its womb? A sheep for a pregnant sheep, meaning the fetus is incidental to the mother, like a sheep that has milk, where the milk is incidental.

Answer:
As for selling the fetus alone in the womb, it is not permissible due to gharar (excessive uncertainty in a contract). However, if he sells the pregnant sheep or the milking sheep, these matters are included incidentally. Allah knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
