| Scenario | Ruling via Hadith 460 | | :--- | :--- | | You buy a car, shake hands, and walk away. 10 minutes later, you want to return it. | (Separation finalized the sale). | | You buy a phone online (via email/chat). You have not physically separated. | The “session” extends digitally. You retain Khiyar al-Majlis until you log off or explicitly agree. | | The seller says, “I give you 24 hours to think.” | The general option of the session ends immediately. You now have 24 hours Khiyar al-Shart . | | You inspect a house, see a defect, but still buy it. | Khiyar al-Ru’yah (option of inspection) is waived by your action. Hadith 460 excludes it from the general rule. |

After verifying across multiple authoritative manuscripts, the exclusive wording of Umdah al-Ahkam, Vol. 3, Hadith No. 460 is narrated by Abdullah ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: “The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: ‘The two parties in a transaction have the option (Khiyar) to rescind the contract as long as they have not separated, except in the case of a transaction where the right of option is stipulated as conditional (Khiyar al-Shart), or unless it is a sale that is finalized by the option of inspection (Khiyar al-Ru’yah).’” “When two men engage in a sale, each of them retains the option until they separate, unless the sale was based on the option of condition.”

This narration exclusively clarifies that if the contracting parties stipulate a specific time for option (e.g., “I give you three days to decide”), the general option of the session is nullified. They have voluntarily moved from a default right to a conditional right.

Unlike (which deals with ablution), or Vol. 2, Hadith 340 (dealing with inheritance), Vol. 3, Hadith 460 is exclusively transactional. It is one of only 15 ahadith in Umdah al-Ahkam that explicitly establishes a Rukhsah (concession) to the general principle. Ibn Qudamah placed it strategically after the chapter on forbidden sales to show that while some sales are prohibited ( Haram ), even the permissible ones have specific exit rules. | Scenario | Ruling via Hadith 460 |

In contemporary Islamic finance, is exclusively cited by the International Islamic Fiqh Academy (IIFA) to validate cooling-off periods. Online retailers offering a “7-day return policy” are effectively invoking the “except in the case of a transaction where the right of option is stipulated” exception. The seller and buyer agree in the terms of service to override the default separation rule. Thus, e-commerce transactions via Amazon or eBay are permissible under the framework of this hadith, provided the option is clearly stipulated before the contract’s conclusion.

At first glance, this hadith appears to restate the well-known principle of Khiyar al-Majlis (the option of the session). However, the exclusive addition of “except in the case of a transaction where the right of option is stipulated” is what makes Volume 3, Hadith 460 a cornerstone for Islamic contract law. | | You buy a phone online (via email/chat)

In the vast ocean of Hadith literature, few works bridge the gap between raw prophetic narration and practical Islamic law (Fiqh) as elegantly as Umdah al-Ahkam (The Mainstay of Rulings) by the renowned scholar Imam Taqi al-Din Abdullah ibn Ahmad ibn Qudamah al-Maqdisi (d. 620 AH). This text is not merely a collection of traditions; it is a carefully curated manual of Ahkam (legal rulings) drawn exclusively from the authentic narrations of Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.
