The ruling on selling and buying a hunting or guard dog
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, what is the ruling on selling and buying a hunting or guard dog?
Answer:
It is not permissible to sell one. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the price of a dog in an authentic hadith. So a dog is not sold, neither for hunting nor for guarding. But if you pay something as a reward to the owner of the dog, specifically the owner of a hunting dog or a livestock dog, for his exclusive use, you pay him something in exchange for that exclusivity so that he relinquishes it to you. There is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
