The ruling on selling a Sheep that is present for two or three Sheep to be given later

Question :

Is it permissible to sell a sheep for two or three sheep to be given later after a period of 20 years or more, for example?

Answer:

It is permissible, according to the most correct opinion of the scholars, to sell a specified animal that is present, whether one or more, to be paid later at a designated time, whether it is sooner or later or in installments. As long as the price is specified and the descriptions that make the animal distinct are known, this is lawful. It makes no difference whether that animal is from the type that is sold or any other type. This is because it has been confirmed from the Prophet that he bought one camel for two camels (to be given later) to add to the camels of charity. This was recorded by Al-Hakim and Al-Bayhaqi and its narrators are reliable.
