Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to take a reward for racing horses and camels, which are not used for jihad nowadays?
Answer:
Yes, a reward may be taken for them due to the generality of the hadith, and because they are needed in places where people cannot do without them, and there are places where vehicles cannot reach, where only animals can go, so they are needed. And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan an-Nasa'i 3574Sahih (Darussalam)
