What is the view regarding the validity of all such ambiguous conditional sales based on the Hanbali position?
Chapter on Selling Assets and Fruits
Al-Mughni
Book of Sales
Primary text
It is narrated from Abu Bakr that such sales are valid in all cases, adhering to the principle of Imam Ahmad that a single condition is permissible. This view is rejected because the subject matter of the sale is rendered unknown, which invalidates the sale, unlike a condition that does not lead to ambiguity.
