The ruling on selling hunting dogs and guard dogs

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The rest of the Shaykh, may Allah protect you: A hunting dog and a guard dog, if their owner no longer needs them, is it permissible to sell them?

The Shaykh:
No, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the price of a dog; the price of a dog is forbidden. However, the Lawgiver granted a dispensation for a dog for the need of hunting and guarding. Yes. For hunting and guarding, guarding livestock or guarding crops, or for hunting. 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 the fortune-teller, and the dowry of the prostitute. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade all of them. Yes. If it is not permissible, give it to someone else. If it is not permissible, give it to someone else for free. If it is not permissible, as for selling, it is not permissible; the price of a dog is forbidden. Yes. And buying it is not permissible either. Dogs, my brother, and their skins are for sale? Go and take from the dogs you want, okay?

Another questioner:
Yes.

The Shaykh:
Yes, one round, and teach it. You teach it, it accepts training, yes.
