موطا امام مالك رواية يحييٰ
Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب البيوعBook: On the Rulings of Buying and Selling
بَابُ مَا لَا يَجُوزُ مِنْ بَيْعِ الْحَيَوَانِ
What is Not Permissible in the Sale of Animals
Hadith 1364
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ حَبَلِ الْحَبَلَةِ " . وَكَانَ بَيْعًا يَتَبَايَعُهُ أَهْلُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَبْتَاعُ الْجَزُورَ إِلَى أَنْ تُنْتَجَ النَّاقَةُ ثُمَّ تُنْتَجَ الَّتِي فِي بَطْنِهَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the sale of Habl al-Habla. This was a transaction prevalent in the days of ignorance, in which a man would buy a she-camel on the condition that when the she-camel gives birth, and then that offspring gives birth, only then will he pay the price.
Hadith 1365
وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " لَا رِبًا فِي الْحَيَوَانِ، وَإِنَّمَا نُهِيَ مِنَ الْحَيَوَانِ عَنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ : عَنِ الْمَضَامِينِ، وَالْمَلَاقِيحِ، وَحَبَلِ الْحَبَلَةِ . وَالْمَضَامِينُ : بَيْعُ مَا فِي بُطُونِ إِنَاثِ الْإِبِلِ . وَالْمَلَاقِيحُ : بَيْعُ مَا فِي ظُهُورِ الْجِمَالِ " .
Saeed bin Musayyib said: There is no riba in animals, but there are three invalid sales in animals: first, the sale of "mudamin" (the unborn animal in the womb), second, the sale of "malaqiḥ" (the semen in the back of the male), and third, the sale of "ḥabl al-ḥabala." "Mudamin" refers to the animal that is in the womb of the female. "Malaqiḥ" refers to what is in the back of the male. The explanation of "ḥabl al-ḥabala" has already been mentioned.
Hadith 1365B1
. قَالَ مَالِك : لَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَ أَحَدٌ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْحَيَوَانِ بِعَيْنِهِ إِذَا كَانَ غَائِبًا عَنْهُ، وَإِنْ كَانَ قَدْ رَآهُ وَرَضِيَهُ عَلَى أَنْ يَنْقُدَ ثَمَنَهُ لَا قَرِيبًا وَلَا بَعِيدًا .
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: The sale of a specific animal when it is absent, whether near or far, is not valid. Even if the buyer has seen the animal and liked it, the reason is that the seller will take the price from the buyer and benefit, while the buyer does not know whether he will receive the animal in the same sound condition as he saw it or not. However, if a non-specific animal is sold by describing its characteristics, then there is no objection.
