The answer

As long as the sale is deferred, and the discount from the price is agreed upon in the contract, this poses a problem for the certainty of the price, which is a condition for the validity of the sale. However, some scholars believe that such an ambiguity is forgivable if its outcome leads to certainty, and that the prohibiting ambiguity is that which leads to dispute. So, if the ambiguity does not lead to dispute, it does not prevent the validity of the sale.
