Praying on a Donkey and the Prohibition of Domestic Donkeys
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it possible that the donkey on which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed was before the prohibition of domestic donkeys? Because they were prohibited in Khaybar?
Answer:
This, my brother, is a past matter regarding eating. The current discussion is about praying while riding on it, and praying on its back, which is the voluntary prayer at night. As for the hadiths of Khaybar, they are about eating the flesh of donkeys. Yes.
