The ruling on raising high-quality sheep and selling them at high prices
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Your Eminence, the questioner says: Some people raise sheep of good breed and wash them.
The Shaykh:
People.
The questioner:
He says: May Allah reward you. Some people raise sheep of good breed, wash and clean them, a special market is held for them, and they are sold at high prices. Is that permissible?
The Shaykh:
This is not permissible. This is extravagance, waste, and squandering, so this exaggeration and spending money on such matters is not permissible. And these races are forbidden; racing them and taking prizes for them is forbidden. We are consuming wealth in vain.
