A nut seller offers a large sack of unshelled nuts for sale to a buyer in return for cash on the spot. The buyer suggests that the seller is engaging in gharar, since some of the nuts may be rotten inside. The seller cracks a few nuts from the sack at random and all are in good condition. Nevertheless, the buyer still objects, saying that the proposed sale involves
gharar and is therefore invalid under Islamic law. Is he right in this statement? © a. no. because gharar does not apply to spot sales
© b. no, because uncertainty does not apply to sales of food
• c.
no, because the gharar involved here is minor
• d. we cannot know for sure until all nuts have been shelled
