Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a person lends something forbidden, such as a dog or the like, and the borrower destroys it, is he considered a thief?
Answer:
If the borrower destroys it, he owes nothing; because this is worthless, it has no sanctity. No, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade its price, the price of a dog, the fee of the fortune-teller, and the dowry of the prostitute, so it is not permissible to sell a dog, even if it is trained, but one may benefit from it, they benefited from it, as for selling it, it is not permissible.
The presenter:
The hadith is authentic.
