Primary text

When a partial amount is set aside for the Salam recipient based on the initial valuation, and the market price of the Salam object subsequently changes (either decreases or increases), the allocated portion must be adjusted proportionally to reflect the true standing of their right relative to other creditors. If the object's price falls, the recipient receives less of the initial cash set-aside, and the excess is returned to the other creditors. If the object's price rises, the recipient receives more of the initial cash set-aside, and the remainder of the due amount is sought from the other creditors, as the initial set-aside belongs to the bankrupt, and the recipient is only entitled to their specific right.
