Bayhaqi Q11109 — Advance payment is not valid until the buyer pays

قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: لِأَنَّ قَوْلَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " مَنْ سَلَّفَ فَلْيُسْلِفْ "، إِنَّمَا قَالَ: " فَلْيُعْطِ "، لَا يَقَعُ اسْمُ التَّسْلِيفِ فِيهِ حَتَّى يُعْطِيَهُ مَا سَلَّفَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُفَارِقَ مَنْ سَلَّفَهُ.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Because by the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), 'Whoever makes a salaf (salam sale), let him make the salaf,' he (peace and blessings be upon him) meant: 'Let him pay (the price).' The term taslif (advance payment) does not apply to it until he pays him what he has to pay in advance before he parts from the one with whom he made the salaf contract."
