قَالَ مَالِك فِيمَنْ بَاعَ مِنْ رَجُلٍ سِلْعَةً، فَقَالَ الْبَائِعُ عِنْدَ مُوَاجَبَةِ الْبَيْعِ : أَبِيعُكَ عَلَى أَنْ أَسْتَشِيرَ فُلَانًا، فَإِنْ رَضِيَ فَقَدْ جَازَ الْبَيْعُ، وَإِنْ كَرِهَ فَلَا بَيْعَ بَيْنَنَا، فَيَتَبَايَعَانِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ يَنْدَمُ الْمُشْتَرِي قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْتَشِيرَ الْبَائِعُ فُلَانًا : إِنَّ ذَلِكَ الْبَيْعَ لَازِمٌ لَهُمَا عَلَى مَا وَصَفَا وَلَا خِيَارَ لِلْمُبْتَاعِ، وَهُوَ لَازِمٌ لَهُ إِنْ أَحَبَّ الَّذِي اشْتَرَطَ لَهُ الْبَائِعُ أَنْ يُجِيزَهُ .
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that a person sold something and at the time of selling made the condition that he would consult so-and-so; if that person permitted, the sale would be valid, and if he forbade, the sale would be void. The buyer agreed to this condition, but afterwards regretted it; then he would have no choice, rather, when that person gives permission to the seller, the sale will become valid.
