Primary text
The estimation (kharas) of grapes is permissible because the fruit is gathered together in bunches on the vine, allowing for an estimation to be performed upon it. Furthermore, there is a pressing need for the owners to consume these grapes while they are still fresh (rutubah). This view is attributed to Malik.
