Muwatta Malik #1411
Business Transactions
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Said ibn al-
Musayyab said, "There is no usury in animals. There are three things
forbidden in animals: al-madamin, al-malaqih and habal al-habala. Al-
madamin is the sale of what is in the wombs of female camels. Al-
malaqih is the sale of the breeding qualities of camels" (i.e. for
stud).
Malik said, "No one should buy a specified animal when
it is concealed from him or in another place, even if he has already
seen it, very recently or not so recently, and was pleased enough with
it to pay its price in cash."
Malik said, "That is
disapproved of because the seller makes use of the price and it is not
known whether or not those goods are found to be as the buyer saw them
or not. For that reason, it is disapproved of. There is no harm in it
if it is described and guaranteed."
