Prohibition of selling fruit before its ripeness appears
Muwatta Malik (Yahya) 1313 — Prohibition of selling fruit before
وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الثِّمَارِ حَتَّى تُزْهِيَ "، فَقِيلَ لَهُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وَمَا تُزْهِيَ ؟ فَقَالَ : " حِينَ تَحْمَرُّ "، وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَرَأَيْتَ إِذَا مَنَعَ اللَّهُ الثَّمَرَةَ، فَبِمَ يَأْخُذُ أَحَدُكُمْ مَالَ أَخِيهِ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the selling of fruits until they become good in color. The people asked: "What is meant by this, O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Until they become red or yellow." And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If Allah does not allow these fruits to ripen, then for what would one of you take his brother's wealth?"
