LessonsLegal Implications of Waaw, Faa and ThummaQuiz

«بعت منك هذا العبد بألف» ثم قال الآخر: «فهو حرّ»
I have sold you this servant for a thousand; the other party then said, “thus he is free.”

The example links a sale-related act to a subsequent legal consequence. An offer, an acceptance, transfer of ownership, and emancipation are distinct legal matters: when the contract is completed must be determined under the governing rules.

If the later consequence depends on the prior legal act, its completion cannot be assumed merely from the words “I sold.” Faa marks consequential succession rather than eliminating the conditions of the prior transaction.
