As-Salam for a fixed specified period

وَبِهِ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَأَبُو سَعِيدٍ وَالأَسْوَدُ وَالْحَسَنُ. وَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ لاَ بَأْسَ فِي الطَّعَامِ الْمَوْصُوفِ بِسِعْرٍ مَعْلُومٍ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مَعْلُومٍ، مَا لَمْ يَكُ ذَلِكَ فِي زَرْعٍ لَمْ يَبْدُ صَلاَحُهُ.Ibn ‘Abbas, Abu Sa‘id, Al-Aswad and Al-Hasan permitted it. Ibn ‘Umar said, “There is no harm in buying foodstuff to be delivered within a known specified time-period, at a known fixed price provided that it is not standing crops that have not yet become ripe and free from blights and diseases.”

Sahih Bukhari : 2253

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمِنْهَالِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْمَدِينَةَ وَهُمْ يُسْلِفُونَ فِي الثِّمَارِ السَّنَتَيْنِ وَالثَّلاَثَ، فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَسْلِفُوا فِي الثِّمَارِ فِي كَيْلٍ مَعْلُومٍ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مَعْلُومٍ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، وَقَالَ، ‏"‏ فِي كَيْلٍ مَعْلُومٍ وَوَزْنٍ مَعْلُومٍ ‏"‏‏.‏

Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet (ﷺ) came to Medina and the people used to pay in advance the prices of fruits to be delivered within two to three years. The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to them), "Buy fruits by paying their prices in advance on condition that the fruits are to be delivered to you according to a fixed specified measure within a fixed specified period." Ibn Najih said, " ... by specified measure and specified weight."
