The questioner : Regarding the hadith of al-Shafi'i from 'Umarah bint 'Abd al-Rahman Muwatta Malik 31:12 It is known that 'Umarah received much knowledge from 'Aishah, so it is mursal. This hadith is valid.
The Shaykh : Yes, it is valid and has many corroborating narrations.
The questioner : So, the 'illah (operative cause) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who said, "It came to us"Muwatta Malik 31:12 Meaning, does the 'illah apply to the sale of all fruits?
The Shaykh : Of course. Without a doubt, all fruits that have seasons and times when they are feared to be afflicted with a defect are not permissible to sell until that season has passed by custom. It is not specific to dates, for example, or any other item.
