The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on keeping a wolf, whether trained or untrained?
The Shaykh:
Keeping what? A wolf? It is not permissible to keep a wolf. This is a wild beast, and it is not permissible to keep it. Permission was given only for keeping a dog for guarding or hunting, or for guarding or hunting, such as guarding a farm or guarding sheep, or for hunting. Yes.
The questioner:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

So that the wolf does not harm the crops or the sheep. Truthfully, yes.
