Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is the sale of a monkey or a donkey, or the like, analogous to the dog, such that the earnings from it would be corrupt?
Answer:
My brother, it is permissible to sell a donkey. They used to buy and sell donkeys in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).[An-Nahl 16:8] It is permissible to sell a donkey. As for the monkey, it is not permissible to sell it; it is like the dog, or rather, it is lower in value than the dog. Ah.

Answer:
My brother, it is permissible to sell a donkey. They used to buy and sell donkeys in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
And [He created] the horses, mules and donkeys for you to ride and [as] adornment. And He creates that which you do not know.
وَالْخَيْلَ وَالْبِغَالَ وَالْحَمِيرَ لِتَرْكَبُوهَا وَزِينَةً وَيَخْلُقُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
