موطا امام مالك رواية يحييٰ
Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب البيوعBook: On the Rulings of Buying and Selling
بَابُ الْجَائِحَةِ فِي بَيْعِ الثِّمَارِ وَالزَّرْعِLoss in sale of fruits and crops
Hadith 1319B1
قَالَ مَالِك : وَعَلَى ذَلِكَ الْأَمْرُ عِنْدَنَا . قَالَ مَالِك : وَالْجَائِحَةُ الَّتِي تُوضَعُ عَنِ الْمُشْتَرِي الثُّلُثُ فَصَاعِدًا، وَلَا يَكُونُ مَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ جَائِحَةً
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: In our view, this is the ruling. However, it is necessary that the loss from this calamity amounts to one third of the wealth or more; if the loss is less than this, it is not considered.
