Is the cheetah impure like the dog, and is it permissible to sell it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: You mentioned (may Allah preserve you) that the cheetah is a type of dog. Is it impure like the dog, and is its saliva (sawr) subject to the same ruling as the saliva of a dog?

The Shaykh:
Yes, it is a dog. Yes.

The questioner:
Then he says (may Allah preserve you): Is it permissible to sell and buy it?

The Shaykh:
No, this is a predator, and it is not permissible to sell or buy it. Yes.
