The answer

Olives are subject to riba (usury), so it is not permissible to sell them for oil due to uncertainty of equivalence. This is because the amount of oil extracted from them is unknown, and equality is a condition for such transactions to avoid riba. Furthermore, it is not permissible to sell an item subject to riba for its original substance from which it is derived, such as olives for oil.
