about the *manwin* and the ruling on selling what is measured by volume with what is weighed?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The *manwin* is honey and dates...
The Shaykh : Ah, by Allah, you are, if Allah wills, like me in this second matter, but you are applying grammar to the rulings of the Shari'ah. *Manwin* means *man*. Is the *man* measured by volume or by weight?
The questioner : By weight.
The Shaykh : Is the *miyar* for volume or for weight?
The questioner : For weight.
The Shaykh : For weight, so *manwin* means weight, yes.
The questioner : Is it permissible or not permissible?
The Shaykh : By Allah, I do not know. I say, go back and check whether the *man* is a measure of volume or a scale used for weighing, ha ha?
The student: Weight.
The Shaykh : Weight, are you sure?
The student: Ibn Aqil said so.
The Shaykh : Ha, and what does he say?
The questioner : He mentioned it in the chapter on weighed items.
The Shaykh : The measured items. In any case, it should be looked into. If that is the case, then we say it is not prohibited to sell what is measured by volume by weight. But is it permissible to deliver what is measured by volume by weight and what is weighed by volume? That is the point of disagreement. As for me selling to you, I have dates, I sell to you by weight, there is nothing wrong with that.
