Summary
Malik says: whoever buys fruit from named palm trees, or a named orchard, or milk from named sheep, there is no harm, if it is taken immediately, and the buyer begins taking it when he pays the price. This is like a jar of oil, from which a man buys one or two dinars' worth and gives his gold and stipulates that the seller measure it for him: there is no harm in that. If the jar breaks and its oil is lost, the buyer has only his gold, and there is no sale between them. 1
