The questioner:
If a person needs a dog for guarding his house or guarding his sheep, and he cannot obtain it except by paying a price through sale, is it permissible for him to pay the price and consider it a dire necessity in his case?
The Shaykh:
He pays the price in his case as a means to achieve this purpose, which he cannot achieve except through it, not as a price, but rather to achieve this purpose. It is permissible for him to pay the price, but it is not permissible for the seller to take the price. It is not permissible for him to take the price.
