Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Regarding cattle pens, are they to be analogized to sheep or to camels?
Answer:
Nothing has been transmitted regarding them. These are pure; there is no doubt that cattle are pure. However, as far as I know, nothing has been transmitted regarding them, because the Arabs’ wealth generally did not consist of cattle; their wealth was sheep and camels. Cattle were found in Yemen, in the land of Yemen. Yes.
