Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah’s Apostle forbade the sale of fruits till they are almost ripe. He was asked what is meant by
‘are almost ripe.’ He replied, “Till they become red.” Allah’s Apostle further said, “If Allah spoiled the
fruits, what right would one have to take the money of one’s brother (i.e. other people)?”

were spoiled with blights, the loss would be suffered by the owner (not the buyer).

their benefit was evident and do not sell fresh fruits (dates) for dried dates.”
