Commentary

Habalul-Habalah is to sell and buy a baby of an animal before its birth, which is illegal; because it involves uncertainty and cheating. It is unknown whether the baby will be male or female, physically fit or defective. Payment of a loan should have a clear appointed time. Then if the debtor could not pay back at the appointed time, and asked for more time, or the deadline is not set at all; and then the debtor pays back according to the flexible ability; granting this type of flexibility to the debtor is a highly virtuous deed.
