Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to hunt the donkey, as well as to buy and sell it?
Answer:
Hunting the wild donkey, yes, hunting the wild donkey is permissible. As for the domestic donkey, it is forbidden; it is not permissible to hunt it. It is not considered game, so it is not lawful to hunt it. If his intention is that when the domestic donkey is startled, he uses the thing that catches it—the thing that catches it for people—then there is no harm in that. But if his intention is that its ruling is the ruling of game, that is forbidden, and its ruling is not the ruling of game. As for selling it, it is permissible to sell the domestic donkey. Yes.
