Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : May Allah reward you.
Answer : There is no problem with riding it; it is not forbidden. Riding it is not forbidden because it does not affect the rider. This donkey is impure, yet the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) rode it, riding it in winter and summer. Generally, on summer days the donkey sweats and the rider is affected by its sweat, and in winter the sky may rain and the rider is affected by its moisture.
