Obtaining a hunting dog when there is a need
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a person needs a hunting dog and cannot find one except through purchase, is it permissible for him to buy it?
Answer:
The sale does not take place; it is not permissible to sell dogs. However, if he pays him something, it is not in the category of a sale, but rather in the category of obtaining this item, and there is no harm in that. It is not considered a sale, but rather a means of obtaining this item.
