Hisham ibn Ammar narrated to us; Sufyan narrated to us, from Ayyub, from Said ibn Jubayr, from Ibn Umar, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the sale of habal al-habalah (the future offspring of an unborn camel).
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ حَبَلِ الْحَبَلَةِ .
Habal al-habalah refers to a deferred sale associated with the offspring of a pregnant animal, often glossed as the offspring of its offspring.
Does “future offspring of an unborn camel” convey the term’s intended sense adequately?
