Summary
Malik says: the practice among us for what is weighed, other than gold and silver, such as copper, pewter, lead, tin, iron, pumpkin, figs and cotton, and the like which is weighed, is that there is no harm in taking two for one of one kind, hand to hand. There is no harm in taking a pound of iron for two pounds of iron, or a pound of brass for two pounds of brass. 1
