What is the ruling on stipulating the use of a camel for transport to a specific destination?
Chapter on Selling Assets and Fruits
Al-Mughni
Book of Sales
Primary text
If the stipulation involves riding the camel to a nearby location, it is permissible. This ruling is established by the action of the Prophet (peace be upon him) selling a camel and stipulating its use to travel to Medina, as narrated by Jabir. The permissibility stems from the clarity of the destination and the nature of the transaction being minor enough to allow for leniency.

Malik stated that if the stipulation is for transport to a distant location, it is disliked (*yukrah*), as leniency (*musamaha*) is granted for minor matters, implying that excessive inconvenience warrants dislike.
