Summary
Malik says: the practice among us is that selling melons, cucumbers, watermelons and carrots, once their ripeness has appeared, is lawful and permitted. The buyer then has what grows until its produce ends and perishes. There is no set time for this, because the time is known to people. Sometimes blight befalls it and cuts off its produce before that time. If blight befalls it through a calamity that reaches a third or more, that is remitted from the buyer. 1
