Commentary
‘Unless they are of different types’: For instance, exchange of dates for wheat, wheat for barley, barley for salt. In such situations, the occurrence of increase or decrease is permissible. However, the deal should be hand-to-hand or instant (such that the deal does not involve any delay in the exchange even if brief).
