The answer

This sale is impermissible, due to what Malik, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, and Nasai narrated, and what Al-Albani authenticated, on the authority of Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) being asked about buying dried dates with fresh dates. So he said to those around him: "Do fresh dates decrease [in weight] when they dry?" They said: "Yes." So he forbade that. The practice among the people of knowledge is based on this, and it is the view of Ash-Shafi'i and our companions.
