measure and quality, by analogy with dinars and dirhams. He prohibited this, however, when one partner contributed dinars and the other dirhams, or when they contributed two different foodstuffs, whether belonging to the same category, such as wheat and barley or baydāʾ and mahmūla, or to two different categories, such as wheat and raisins. This is because two grounds for prohibition coincide: the combination of currency exchange and partnership in the case of dinars and dirhams, or of sale and partnership in the case of two different foodstuffs, together with the absence of an immediate exchange of possession.

He permitted a partnership involving two different items of goods, or goods contributed by one partner and dinars or dirhams by the other, provided their values were equal. Such an arrangement is permissible, unlike sale and currency exchange when extraneous to the partnership; it is therefore permissible according to his position.

As for his position on a partnership in which one partner contributes dinars and the other dirhams, or involving two different foodstuffs of equal value, or identical foodstuffs equal in both value and measure, his view did not differ in any of these cases.
