LessonsRiba in Particular Exchanges: Flour, Meat, Dates, Oils and Composite GoodsQuiz

Suppose the amount of meat in a particular animal is reliably established as approximately 6 kg and 8 kg of the same type of separated meat is offered. Under Muhammad’s proposed matching, 6 kg corresponds to the animal’s meat and the remaining 2 kg may correspond to its other valuable components.

If the quantity inside the animal cannot be reliably determined, merely writing down a guessed figure does not establish the comparison. This numerical illustration explains the doctrinal structure, not a blanket practical authorization for an uncertain transaction.
