The questioner:
Your parents, the Shaykh, may Allah greet you.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
Is the wild donkey, or the preserved donkey, the one that is displayed, or is it not?
The Shaykh:
It is the striped one; sometimes the striped one is called the wild donkey, yes.
The questioner:
We have heard.
The Shaykh:
From this perspective, if it intoxicates, it is forbidden without a doubt. If it does not intoxicate, this is a matter of research and consideration; avoiding it is undoubtedly safer and more distant from harm. Even if it does not intoxicate, they say that it numbs; it has a numbing effect, yes. Yes.
