Points derived from the two hadiths:

1 – It is forbidden to sell fruit—whether dates, grapes, figs, or the like—until sweetness appears, the first signs of ripening set in, and the likelihood of blight from the heavens is diminished. A fuller treatment of this issue will follow.

2 – It is likewise prohibited to sell wool while it is still on the animal’s back, for its exact quantity is unknown, which leads to gharar (uncertainty) and potential dispute. This is the well-known position of the Hanbali school.
A second report, however, allows the sale of wool on the back on condition that it be shorn immediately, because the ruling turns on ignorance of the commodity; the wool is visible and can be assessed, so no real ignorance remains. This is the view of Imām Mālik and the preference of Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn al-Qayyim.

3 – Concerning malāqīḥ and maḍāmīn: Abū ʿUbayd explains that maḍāmīn are what is in the loins of the sires, whereas malāqīḥ are the embryos carried in the wombs of the mothers. Shaykh al-Islām adds that selling malāqīḥ and maḍāmīn is one form of gharar; every transaction involving such uncertainty is a kind of maysir (gambling) that Allah has forbidden in the Qur’an.

4 – The sale of milk while it is still in the udder has already been mentioned as another instance of gharar.
