LessonsBab al-Salam: Fabric, Gems, Bricks and Precise SpecificationQuiz

إذا سمى ملبنا معلوما
Translation: Provided a known brick mould is specified.
A milban is a brick-making mould. Quduri requires the mould to be known so the resulting units have reproducible dimensions. Al-Lubab explains this by specifying length, width and thickness.
An illustrative description is a brick 9 inches long, 4.5 inches wide and 3 inches thick, together with any relevant grade. Merely referring to a particular craftsman's unidentified mould does not achieve the same clarity if its dimensions are not known.
