Summary
Malik says: whoever buys a mushaf (a written copy of the Qur'an), a sword, or a ring which has gold or silver in it, with dinars or dirhams. For what is bought containing gold, with dinars, one looks at its value: if the value of the item is two-thirds and the value of the gold in it is one-third, that is permitted and no harm, provided it is hand to hand with no delay. For what is bought with silver, containing silver, one looks at its value: if its value is two-thirds and the value of the silver in it is one-third, that is permitted, provided it is hand to hand. 1
