Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on selling the beasts of prey whose consumption is forbidden, such as carnivorous animals, dogs, and birds of prey, for the purpose of hunting?

Answer:
It is not permissible to sell dogs; it is only permissible to keep dogs for the three purposes mentioned by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): for hunting, for livestock, or for crops. Keeping them is permissible out of need. As for selling them, it is not permissible; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the price of a dog. Likewise, the price of carnivorous animals and the price of birds are not permissible. This is because it is not permissible to sell carnivorous animals, nor birds, nor dogs.
