What is the ruling when a buyer purchases oil and uses it to mix with wheat flour (suwayq)?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of the Insolvent (Bankruptcy)
Primary text
The seller of the oil and the seller of the wheat flour share the status of general creditors (aswa al-ghumā'). The primary evidence supports this because the seller has not recovered the original corpus of his property.
Supporting text
The school of Al-Shafi'i allows the seller to reclaim the oil because he has found the corpus of his property.
