Is the donkey ritually impure because eating it is forbidden?

Question:
I ask Allah to do you good, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is the price of a donkey and its sale forbidden because it is ritually impure, now that eating it is forbidden?

Answer:
There is no god but Allah. Our discussion is about eating, specifically eating meat only. As for selling and buying it, this is permissible by scholarly consensus. They used to sell and buy donkeys from the time of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger used to ride a donkey. Mu'adh said, "I was riding behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on a donkey." There is no harm in riding . And He adorns and creates what you do not know. The issue of riding and using them is fine, and there is no harm in selling and buying them for these purposes. The only forbidden thing is eating them. Yes.
