LessonsKitab al-Buyu: Shortage, Surplus, Buyer Options and Price AllocationQuiz

An identified plot is described as 100 cubits and sold as a single property for 100 dirhams. If measurement yields 90, the buyer may either keep that identified plot for 100 or reject it.

A 90-cubit finding does not automatically reduce the price to 90 in this formulation. The dimension was specified as a description, not a separately valued unit.
