The questioner : May Allah reward you. If he is one who sells in bulk, it is known that he values it in bulk. But if it is mixed, with some sold in bulk and some sold individually, do we say we prioritize the individual sale on the basis that it is more beneficial for the poor?
The Shaykh : No, this is of the kind of precious wealth. The question asks: if he sells in bulk and individually, do we consider the individual sale or the bulk sale, because the individual sale is more beneficial for the poor? We say this is like taking the precious items, but it should be based on the majority. If the majority is sold individually, then it is individual; if it is sold in bulk, then it is bulk. Yes?
