قَالَ مَالِكٌ : وَأَرَى لُحُومَ الطَّيْرِ كُلَّهَا مُخَالِفَةً لِلُحُومِ الْأَنْعَامِ، وَالْحِيتَانِ، فَلَا أَرَى بَأْسًا بِأَنْ يُشْتَرَى بَعْضُ ذَلِكَ بِبَعْضٍ مُتَفَاضِلًا يَدًا بِيَدٍ، وَلَا يُبَاعُ شَيْءٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِلَى أَجَلٍ.
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that in my view, the meat of birds is very different from the meat of animals and fish. If they are sold with a little difference in quantity, there is no objection, but it is necessary that the transaction be hand to hand, not on credit.
