Transacting Unusable Item
Is it permissible to transact an item that is effectively useless?
The item should not be of such a negligible amount that it is effectively useless (e.g. a drop of petrol) and the contract's execution must not deem the item unusable. It is invalid, for example, to sell one-half a car or one-fourth a horse because the usefulness of the car or horse is based on the physical integrity of the entire object.
