What is the ruling on the validity of a land sale if it includes unknown, intended growth (seeds)?
Chapter on Selling Assets and Fruits
Al-Mughni
Book of Sales
Primary text
The sale is valid because the seed enters the contract as an accessory, so its lack of definition does not harm the transaction. Permissible uncertainty in accessories, which is impermissible in principal items, validates this.

The view of Al-Shafi'i states that the sale is void because the seed is an unknown entity, yet it is intended.
