4521. It was narrated from Hafs bin 'šim, from Abû Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ forbade two kinds of transactions: Munâbadhah and Mulâmasah. And he said that
Mulâmasah means when one man says to another: "I will sell you my garment for your garment," and neither of them looks at the garment of the others, rather he just touches it. And Munâbadhah is when he says: "I will throw what I have and you throw what you have," so that they buy from one another, and neither of them knows how much the other has, and so on. (Sâhîh)

Commentary
The Mulâmasah and Munâbadhah could be interpreted in various ways, but one thing is common between them. Apart from touching and throwing, it contains no room for further assurance and certainty. In fact, this very element of dubiousness is the cause of its being forbidden. While along with this, a passion to deceive is found in all these forms of transactions.
