The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : We said, O Shaykh, if he says, "If you bring it to me in two days, otherwise the pledge is yours," we said that it is valid.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : We said that it is valid.
The Shaykh : No, the school of thought is that it is not valid.
The questioner : Yes, according to the opinion that it is valid.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Here the price is unknown because it is possible that he will bring the price and it is possible that he will not bring it...
The Shaykh : No, the price is known; we have fixed the price at ten riyals.
The questioner : Or a pledge?
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : Or a pledge?
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : Either ten riyals or a pledge; he does not know...
The Shaykh : But he is satisfied; if the buyer knows that the price is less than the pledge, he will be eager to bring it immediately.
The questioner : And the seller does not know?
The Shaykh : The seller knows because the price is fixed now.
The questioner : He may know and he may not know.
The Shaykh : No, he knows; the price is fixed, but he may bring it and he may not bring it. That is why we said it is necessary to set a time limit, yes?
The questioner : O Shaykh... for the seller, does this have a prior pledge or...?
The Shaykh : It will come to us, if Allah wills, in the chapter on the option to rescind. Jamal?
The questioner : For example, if he said, "Sell this slave," meaning sell this slave to so-and-so, and they agreed on this contract, then this buyer went to sell the slave to that person, but that person did not accept because he knew that the first one did not sell it to him for this reason, for example, because he caused him embarrassment.
The Shaykh : It appears the time is over? Why did you not...
The questioner : Yes.
