Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on taking a reward for a camel beauty contest?
Answer:
No, taking a reward for a race is not the same as taking a reward for a beauty contest. A reward for a race means the camel that reaches the finish line first, because this is training for jihad, as camels are among the mounts of jihad, so they are trained for racing. As for taking a reward for the most beautiful horse or the most beautiful she-camel, this has no basis. Yes.
