(22) باب فِي السَّلَمِ فِي ثَمَرَةٍ بِعَيْنِهَا
Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar:
A man paid in advance for a palm-tree. It did not bear fruit that year. They brought their case for decision to the Prophet (ﷺ). He said: for which do you make his property lawful? He then said: Do not pay in advance for a palm-tree till they (the fruits) were clearly in good condition. (FR)
