2 Hence, بَيْعُ المُرَاوَضَةِ That mode of selling which is termed بَيْعُ المُوَاصَفَةِ; which is when one describes to a man an article of merchandise not present with him: this is said in a trad. to be an action that is disapproved: but some of the professors of practical law allow it when the article of merchandise agrees with the description.
