Paying the price in advance and receiving the goods little by little

Question

In our area, those whose cows and buffaloes give milk arrange a regular supply of milk and settle the price month by month. Some poor and needy people take a sum of money in advance, and the account is gradually settled in milk. Is this permissible?

Answer

Giving milk and taking the price month by month is permissible, but there is dislike (karaha) in taking and giving milk after paying money in advance.
