LessonsBab al-Salam: Advance Price, Specified Goods, Delivery Date and ConditionsQuiz

ولا في الحطب حزما ولا في الرطبة جرزا
Translation: Nor in firewood by bundles, nor in fresh fodder by sheaves.

A bundle of firewood or sheaf of green fodder may differ widely in density and size. The phrase “10 bundles” does not necessarily give a dependable quantity: some bundles may be tightly packed and others loose.
Quduri rejects salam defined through those variable bundle units. A transaction using a reliable weight and a reproducible commodity description calls for a separate legal evaluation; changing the word “bundle” alone does not cure uncertainty.
