5. SELLING FRUIT AND CROPS
SELLING FRUIT AND CROPS
It is not permissible (or valid) to sell the fruit alone from a tree (without the tree, while still on it) before it is ripe, unless the agreement stipulates immediate picking of the fruit. But such a sale is valid without restriction if made after the fruit is ripe, meaning, for fruits that do not change color, to become fit to eat; and for fruits whose color changes, to start to turn the color of ripeness.
If both the tree and the fruit are sold together, the sale is permissible without stipulating that the fruit be picked.
Grain, when green, is subject to the same rulings as fruit before it is ripe: it may not be sold (nor would the sale be valid) unless the agreement stipulates immediate harvest, though there are no restrictions on sales made after the grain is solid and firm.
It is not permissible to sell grain when still in, the husk, or to sell unripe nuts, almonds, or broad beans when these are in the shell. (When the latter three are dried, they may be sold in the shell.)
