Commentary
“Al-Muḥāqalah” is selling un-harvested grain in the field in exchange for harvested grain like wheat. “Al-Muzābanah” is selling an estimated amount of fresh dates on the tree for dried dates that are measured, or the same for grapes. “Al-Mukhābarah” is renting land in exchange for a portion of its produce. Making an exception in a sale means to make an exception for one item among those purchased without telling the purchaser that seller did not include that item, or the like. Mu‘āwamah is selling two or three years worth of produce in advance. In “Al-Muḥāqalah” and “Al-Muzābanah” there is a chance of ending up with less or more of the produce which comes under Ribā, so it is unlawful. In the form of Mukhābarah and Mu‘āwamah, deceiving and cheating are involved so it is also unlawful. See Tuhfat Al-Aḥwadhī and An-Nihāyah.
