Narrated Fudalah bin Ubaid: We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at the battle of Khaibar. We were selling to the Jews one uqiyah of gold for one dinar. The narrators other than Qutaibah said: "for two or three dinars. " Then both the versions agreed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Do not sell gold except with equal weight.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊ When gold is exchanged for gold, or silver for silver, it is necessary that the weight be equal and the transaction be immediate (hand to hand).
➋ Otherwise, it will constitute usury (riba).
➌ In the case where gold is mixed with another substance, it should be separated.
➍ In mixed items, the correct weight of gold or silver cannot be determined until they are separated.
➎ After separating, the price of everything attached to the gold or silver will also be determined separately, and there will no longer be any possibility of usury (riba).
