Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Ibrahim says that there is no harm in it.

Hazrat Mujahid, Muhammad, and Hazrat Ata state that there is no harm in conducting a sale by salam in silk. Hazrat Waki’ says that we hope there is no harm in it.

Hazrat Faz’a narrates that I asked Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), “What do you say about al-saraq?” He asked, “What is al-saraq?” I replied, “Silk or pieces of silk.” He said, “O people of Iraq! You give bad names. Have you not called it Shaqq al-Hareer?” I said, “It fetches a good price in the market. We buy it at that price and then sell it to the cloth merchants at a higher price.” He said, “When you buy it and take possession of it, then sell it however you wish.”
