Hadith 32142

Malik said, "It is the generally agreed on way of doing thingsamong us that the meat of camels, cattle, sheep and so on is not to bebartered one for one, except like for like, weight for weight, fromhand to hand. There is no harm in that. If it is not weighed, then itis estimated to be like for like from hand to hand."Maliksaid, "There is no harm in bartering the meat of fish for the meat ofcamels, cattle, and sheep and so on two or more for one, from hand tohand. If delayed terms enter the transaction however, there is no goodin it."Malik said, "I think that poultry is different fromthe meat of cattle and fish. I see no harm in selling some of it forsomething different, more of one than another, from hand to hand. Noneof that is to be sold on delayed terms."
