What is the ruling on one who buys dates and obliges the seller to place them on the ground?

The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you, some people, when they want to buy dates...
The Shaykh : Yes, if they agree to this, nothing prevents them. If he says, “I suspect they are not of one variety, so I want you to empty them onto the ground so that it becomes clear,” there is no blame on him, provided the condition is that it does not cause spoilage. If it causes spoilage, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the waste of wealth.
