Primary text

The basis for accepting the specification of non-measured items is that they are property that can be the subject of a contract, and therefore they may be specified in an admission, similar to measured and weighed goods. Furthermore, such items are generally established in the *dhimma*, making the specification valid just as with measured items. The reason for their establishment in the *dhimma* does not invalidate their acceptance in an admission or report thereof.
