What is the ruling on selling the ripened fruit of an orchard to, for example, Zayd, and selling the unripened fruit to, for example, 'Amr? Is that permissible?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : There is a man who has an orchard, and the fruit of one of the palm trees has ripened, and he sold it to Zayd!
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And he sold the rest to 'Amr.
The Shaykh : The one that had not ripened?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : No, it is not permissible. Even if he sold the ripened fruit to Zayd, and then came with another transaction and sold him the fruit that had not ripened, it would not be permissible.
The questioner : Shaykh, is it when a single grain appears on a palm tree, or must the Bedouins wait for all the fruit of the palm trees?
The Shaykh : Are you sleeping or awake?
The questioner : If it appears and he eats it.
The Shaykh : You did not realize anything except for eating, yes.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions:
He said -may Allah have mercy on him-: "And from Jabir ibn 'Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1554a Narrated by Muslim":
