Question 825) - Are differing amounts allowed between good wheat exchanged for lower quality wheat?

A: No, they are of the same category. This ruling applies to all measured and weighed products.*

* Abu Sa'id al-Khudri RDI. narrates: Bilal brought Barni dates to Rasulullaah SAW. He asked him, "Where is this from?" He replied , "l had some low quality dates. I gave 2 Sa' of that for 1 Sa' of this." He said, "That exactly is Riba. Do not do that. When you want to buy that, then sell your dates in a separate sale and then buy them with your money," [al-Bukhari and Muslim]
