Summary
Malik says: whatever food or condiment differs, and the difference is clear, there is no harm in buying some of it for some other, hand to hand, by estimate. If a term enters it, there is no good in it. Buying those by estimate is like buying part of them for gold or silver by estimate: you buy wheat with silver by estimate and dates with gold by estimate. This is lawful and there is no harm in it. 1
