If he mentions some of them, it serves as confirmation and he is bound by them. The attributes of horses are like the attributes of camels. As for mules and donkeys, they have no offspring, so instead of that, one attributes them to their land. As for cattle and sheep, if they have known offspring, they are like camels; otherwise, they are like donkeys. One must mention the species in these animals; for instance, one says for camels: Bakhtiyyah (Bactrian) or Arabiyyah (Arabian); for horses: Arabiyyah, Hajin (hybrid), or Birdawn (pack-horse) (44). For sheep: sheep or goats; except for donkeys and mules, as they have no species.

Section: In the case of meat, one must mention the age, gender, fatness or leanness, whether it is pastured or stall-fed, the species of the animal, and the portion of the meat. One adds to the description whether it is a stud or a castrated animal. If it is from game, one does not need to mention the feed or castration. One must mention the instrument used for hunting, whether it is a beast of prey or a snare.

The catch of a dog is better than the catch of a leopard because the dog is the animal with the most pleasant scent. It was said: [It is the animal with the most pleasant scent] (46) because its mouth is open most of the time.

If there is no need in the case of slaves to mention [virginity and non-virginity] (47), fatness, leanness, and the like, which cause price variations and affect desires, and which people know, then this is all the more appropriate. One is obliged to accept meat with its bones because it is butchered this way, so it is like the pit in a date. If the salam contract is for bird meat, one does not need to mention gender, unless it varies due to that, such as chicken meat; nor the part of the meat, unless it is a large amount from which one takes a portion. One is not obliged to accept the head and the feet because there is no meat on them. In the case of fish, one must mention the species, such as Baradi (48) or other, its size,
