A sheep that suckled from a dog while it was young: what is the ruling on its meat and milk?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a man has a sheep, but it suckled from a dog while it was young. What is the ruling on its meat and milk?

Answer:
Its meat and milk are disliked as long as it is young, as long as it is suckling. But if it grows up and eats food and drinks water, the effect of the dog’s milk leaves it. There is no objection if it grows up; there is no objection. Yes. He may eat it, even if it still has the effect of the dog’s milk, like the *jalalah* (animals that eat impure waste). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the meat of *jalalah* animals until they are confined and fed pure food. These are pure foods, so it becomes permissible after that. Yes.
