The Ruling on a Partnership in Unknown or Estimated Goods
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : The ruling on small change, counterfeit coins, and copper coins is the same as the ruling on trade goods, because their value increases and decreases, so they resemble trade goods. A partnership in unknown goods or estimated goods is not permissible, because it is not possible to return to them in the case of a settlement.
The Shaykh : What is the outcome? It appears that in the case of the manuscript, the settlement, what is it? It is not. Either in the case of a settlement, or in the case of a comparison.
The questioner : There is a correction here, O Shaykh, but.
The Shaykh : And what do you have that is called?
The questioner : There is a correction, but the letter that he has placed looks like a fa and could be a nun in the word for comparison.
The Shaykh : The comparison.
The questioner : The comparison.
The Shaykh : There is no comparison here; the comparison is in the ship. What do you have?
The questioner : The settlement or the comparison; do you want to see which one?
The Shaykh : My brother, the correct word is the settlement, meaning if they settle and dissolve the partnership, it is not possible to return to anything that is well-known.
The questioner : Because it is not possible to return to it in the case of a settlement, nor with a debt, nor with something absent; because it is of that which is not permissible to sell or dispose of, and it is the intended purpose of the partnership.
