The ruling on buying a dog when there is a need

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to buy a dog when there is a need?

Answer:
It is not permissible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade
the price of a dog, the payment (given to a prostitute) and the payment made to a soothsayerعَنْ ثَمَنِ الْكَلْبِ وَمَهْرِ الْبَغِيِّ وَحُلْوَانِ الْكَاهِنِ
Sunan Ibn Majah 2159Sahih (Darussalam)
This is in the authentic collections, so it is not permissible to sell dogs, but they may be used for what they are specifically intended for, without selling them.
