The Ruling on Selling Monkeys and Keeping Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on selling monkeys and keeping them?
Answer:
It is not permissible to sell them; it is not permissible to sell them. As for keeping them, I do not know of any prohibition, but selling them is not permissible because it is not lawful to eat them or take them, and what is the benefit of them other than merely looking at them?
