Summary
Malik says: the practice among us in selling gold for gold, or silver for silver, by weighing, is that there is no harm if a man takes eleven dinars for ten, hand to hand, when the weights of the two golds are equal, coin for coin, even if the counts differ. Dirhams are like dinars in this. 1
