And like vegetables, because they vary, and it is impossible to estimate vegetables by the bundle; for a bundle can be made of both small and large items, so Salam is not valid in them, just like jewelry. Ismail ibn Sa'id and Ibn Mansur narrated the permissibility of Salam in fruits, quinces, pomegranates, almonds (22), vegetables, and the like; because many of these are similar and can be regulated by smallness and largeness, and what is not similar can be regulated by weight, such as vegetables and the like, so Salam is valid in them, just like crops. This is the view of Abu Hanifa, al-Shafi'i, and al-Awza'i. Ibn al-Mundhir related from al-Shafi'i a prohibition of Salam in eggs and walnuts. Perhaps this is another view, such that he has two views on the matter.

Section: As for Salam in heads and extremities (of slaughtered animals), the disagreement we have mentioned regarding the validity of Salam in them applies. Al-Shafi'i also has two views on them, just like the two narrations; one of them is: it is permissible. This is the view of Malik, al-Awza'i, and Abu Thawr; because it is meat containing bone, the purchase of which is permissible, so Salam in it is permissible, like the rest of the meat. The other is: it is not permissible. This is the view of Abu Hanifa; because most of it is bones and lips, and the meat in it is little, and it is not measured by weight, unlike meat. If it is cooked or roasted, al-Shafi'i said: Salam is not valid in it. This is the analogy of the view of the Qadi; because it falls apart and varies. According to the view of others among our companions besides the Qadi, what has been touched by fire from this has the same ruling as other things. This is also the view of Malik, al-Awza'i, and Abu Thawr. The contract requires it to be sound and unaffected, and the custom regarding its cooking varies, so it resembles other things.

Section: In the case of hides, there is the same disagreement as there is regarding heads and extremities. Al-Shafi'i said: Salam is not valid in them; because they vary. The rump (23) is thick and strong, the chest is thick and loose, the belly is thin and weak, and the back is stronger, so it is necessary to describe every part of it,
