Delivery Of Salam Subject Matter

What are the requirements for the delivery of the subject matter of a Salam?

The time and place of the delivery of Salam goods must be clearly specified. In case the place of delivery is not established, Salam goods must be delivered at the place of the contract’s execution. Additionally, it is not permissible to sell the subject matter of a Salam before its constructive possession. The subject matter cannot be short sold, forward sold or discounted either. For instance, if a person is to receive a quantity of wheat after one month, he may not sell it or have it discounted . He may, however, execute a parallel Salam for it with a third party. The actual sale may take place once the subject matter is in the seller’s possession.
