The Ruling on Renting Out a Hunting Dog

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, one of the conditions of a lease contract is the permissibility of the benefit. Is it permissible to rent out a hunting dog?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible. A hunting dog is a source of benefit, and it is not permissible to sell it. If it is not permissible to sell it, as stated in the authentic hadith regarding the price of a dog, , then the same applies to renting it out; because a lease is a sale, except that it is a sale of benefits. Yes.
