the arrangement ultimately amounts to the original buyer paying the original seller ten dirhams at the end of one month and receiving twelve dirhams from him at the end of two months, on condition that the original seller lend him eight ardabs and give him two. Since the food cannot be identified as the very same food after it has been taken away, they are suspected of intending this arrangement.
(The sixth) is the same case, except that the buyer has not taken the food away. This also involves an advance of dirhams in exchange for a larger sum payable at a later date, with an additional two ardabs that the original buyer takes from the food the original seller sold him. The eight ardabs that return unchanged to the original seller have no effective role in the transaction. This also involves selling food for immediate delivery, together with dirhams payable at a later date, in exchange for a larger sum of dirhams payable at a later date.
(The seventh) is to buy back the same quantity for a higher price after the buyer has taken the food away. This involves an advance of dirhams in exchange for a larger sum payable at a later date, because the original seller receives ten dirhams from the original buyer at the end of one month and pays him twelve dirhams at the end of two months, on condition that the original seller lend him ten ardabs, since the food cannot be identified as the very same food after it has been taken away.
(The eighth) is the same case, except that the buyer has not taken the food away. This also involves an advance of dirhams in exchange for a larger sum payable at a later date, because the original seller receives ten dirhams from the original buyer at the end of one month and pays him twelve dirhams at the end of two months. His food returns to him unchanged and thus has no effective role in the transaction.
(The ninth) is to buy back a larger quantity for a higher price after the buyer has taken the food away. This involves a sale combined with a loan, because, in the example we have set out, the original buyer sells the original seller the two additional ardabs for the two dirhams he receives in addition to the original price, on condition that one party lend the other ten dirhams and the other lend him ten ardabs.
(The tenth) is the same case, except that the buyer has not taken the food away. This also involves a sale combined with a loan, because they exchange the additional food for the additional price, on condition that the original buyer lend the original seller ten dirhams for one month, while the ten ardabs delivered by the seller return to him
