Summary
Malik says: whoever sells food by estimate, without excepting any of it, and then wishes to buy some of it back, it is not proper for him to buy anything from it except what he would have been allowed to except from it, which is a third or less. If it exceeds a third, it becomes muzabana and what is disliked. He should not buy any of it except what he would have been allowed to except. He is only allowed to except a third or less; this is the matter about which there is no dispute among us. 1
