What is the implication of the narration regarding Ibn Umar and the Prophet (peace be upon him) concerning transactions before separation?
Chapter on the Option of the Two Parties in Sale
Al-Mughni
Book of Sales
Primary text
The narration reported by Al-Bukhari concerning Ibn Umar, where the Prophet (peace be upon him) told him to sell his camel, and upon Ibn Umar gifting it to the Prophet, the Prophet gifted it back to Ibn Umar, indicates that a transaction before separation is permissible.
Supporting text
The narration does not explicitly state a sale; the statement of Umar, 'It is for you,' may imply a gift, which is more apparent as no price was mentioned, and an option to revoke is not established in a gift.
