The Sale and Purchase of a Hunting Dog and a Guard Dog
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is it permissible to sell and buy a hunting dog or a guard dog?
The Shaykh:
Selling is not permissible. A bequest is valid; it is valid to bequeath it to someone who will benefit from it after his death, such as guarding his sheep without hunting with it, or guarding his crops for benefit only. As for selling, it is not permissible because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the price of a dog, the fee of a soothsayer, and the dowry of a prostitute. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah have mercy on you.
The Shaykh:
The scope of benefiting from something is broader than the scope of selling it and taking its price. Yes.
