Summary
Malik says: the agreed practice among us is that whoever buys fruit, fresh or dry, does not sell it until he takes possession of it. None of it is sold for another of its kind except hand to hand. The fruit that dries, becoming dried fruit that is stored and eaten, is not sold for one another except hand to hand and measure for measure, if it is of one kind. If it is of two different kinds, there is no harm in two being bought for one hand to hand; it is not proper on credit. Whatever does not dry and is not stored, but is eaten fresh, such as melon, cucumber, watermelon, carrots, citron, bananas and pomegranates, is treated likewise. 1
