Is it a condition to describe the writing in the contract?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is writing required in a sale with a deferred payment?
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : Is writing required in the contract of the item being sold? Or is the original principle that one knows how to read... everywhere, and that...?
The Shaykh : Yes, writing is necessary so that it can be recognized, but some writings are read only after spelling them out. You find someone who writes the letter mīm with a wide space and the letter nūn small. This invalidates what you read. For example, in the name Muhammad, the mīm is made larger than the ḥā’ twice. This exists, and unfortunately, it exists among us in the fourth year of university. So if you write for me now, write "A directive from so-and-so to so-and-so" so we can see your handwriting.
The questioner : But Shaykh, is it required that it be said...
The Shaykh : Did you agree to this?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Okay?
The questioner : I mean, is it required to describe the writing in the contract? Must the reader be able to read his handwriting?
The Shaykh : No, when it is stated generally, when it is stated generally, he must be able to read, but as I told you, reading is sometimes done with difficulty and sometimes without difficulty. It appears that if it is stated generally, he must be able to read easily. Yes, right? Yes?
