The Shaykh : No, they say: If they are harvested, then he can sell them and buy with dirhams, meaning he sells the dates he has, just as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:, whereas the ones on the palm tree, he will take them little by little.
The questioner : Little by little.
The Shaykh : Yes.
