What is the view regarding the validity of all such ambiguous conditional sales based on the Hanbali position?

Open in Qurani

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.
