Question:
What is a debt in the form of a known item with a known term?
Answer:
This is called salam. If it is a debt, there is no harm in it, provided it is for a known term; a known item and a known term. This is salam.
As for if he says, "I sell you what is in the belly of this she-camel," or "what is in the belly of my specific she-camel today," or "what is in its belly in the coming year in which it will conceive," this is not permissible. As for what is in his debt, he may bring it from any source; this is salam. For example, if he says, "I sell you a hundred sa' in my debt," or "a hundred weight of such and such," there is no harm in it. But if he says, "I sell you the fruit of this palm tree," it is not valid.
