LessonsKitab al-Rahn: Salam, Sarf, Third-party Custody and Fungible CollateralQuiz

One salam contract creates two different obligations:
1. Capital: the purchaser’s advance price, which must be received in the session.
2. Muslam fīh: the specified goods the seller will deliver later.
Both can be secured. But the immediate-receipt requirement matters especially for the first. In the second, the collateral secures a deferred obligation and does not remove the seller’s duty to deliver at the appointed time.
