Question 787) - Give some examples of Fasid [incorrect] transactions.

A: Muzabanah - selling dates on the tree in exchange for plucked dry dates; or grapes on the vine in exchange for raisins. Mulamasah - the sale is in effect by mere touching without right of sight e.g. it was dark or the cloth was folded. There is also no right to withdraw within the gathering. Munabazah is that each throws his goods at the other and the sale is made. These were transactions which were regarded as correct before Islaam. Throwing a stone on a group of items. Whichever one it falls on is sold. Similarly selling an animal or slave-girl and excluding its foetus is Fasid. Selling an arms-span of a robe where it will cause damage to the whole big price as well for as selling a beam of a roof is incorrect. Or buying a [unspecified] robe out of two robes.
