What is the ruling on selling live animals by weight (per kilogram) for a known price, knowing that the buyer may keep them or slaughter them for sale?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
There is no objection to selling permissible animals like camels, cattle, and sheep by weight, whether alive or slaughtered, due to the generality of Allah's statement: "And Allah has permitted trade and forbidden interest," and the Prophet's (peace be upon him) statement: "Every righteous sale," and due to the absence of uncertainty or gharar in such a transaction.
