Summary
Barni dates are not another name for Ajwah dates. Barni is a distinct variety grown in Madinah, alongside others such as Ajwah and Sukari. Ibn Manzur describes it as yellowish and round, while the author of al-Tahzib describes it as yellowish red with a rather thick skin and a sweet taste. Hadiths on its merits are graded differently by scholars, and some scholars are lenient in accepting such narrations on matters unrelated to creed and the lawful and unlawful.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Imam al-Nawawi telah menyebutkan bahawa terdapat sebanyak 120 jenis kurma Madinah.
