Primary text

The specific phrasing of offer and acceptance is not a requirement in a sale contract; rather, it is valid through mutual exchange (mu'atah). The language used is not uniquely defined, and any utterance conveying the intended meaning is valid.

Supporting text

The condition of *khul'* (repudiation for compensation) is not necessitated in sales because it is permissible to condition it upon stipulations.
