Is everything whose consumption is forbidden also forbidden to sell?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is everything whose consumption is forbidden also forbidden to sell, such as falcons and dogs used for hunting?

Answer:
These beasts of prey are not permissible to sell, including dogs. The prohibition was explicitly stated regarding the sale of dogs, even if they are trained. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the price of a dog, the fee of a soothsayer, and the dowry of a prostitute. As for falcons, no prohibition regarding their sale has been reported. No prohibition regarding their sale has been reported. Donkeys, my brother, are forbidden to eat, and yet they are sold by scholarly consensus. So, is everything that is forbidden to eat also forbidden to sell? No. They are sold for use in matters other than eating. Yes.
