An Arabic term (قبض فعلي) that means taking actual possession of an object of sale or exchange, an amount of money, a financial instrument, etc. In the context of a contract of sarf (currency exchange), qabdh fe’eli refers to taking possession, by the two parties, of the amounts of the two underlying currencies, in an actual manner (physically). In currency exchange, qabdh fe’eli (physical possession) involves taking possession by means of simultaneous delivery by hand (i.e., qabdh fe’eli against qabdh fe’el- or simultaneous, physical taqabudh).

Qabdh, in general, is classified as qabdh haqiqi (qabdh fe’eli) and qabdh hukmi.
