Selling a Dog and Consuming Its Price

Question: What is the ruling on selling a dog and consuming its price?

Answer: Selling a dog is forbidden, and consuming its price is forbidden, because he (peace and blessings be upon him)
The Prophet (ﷺ) prohibited taking the price of a dog, the earnings of a soothsayer and the money earned by prostitution.نهى عن ثمن الكلب، وحلوان الكاهن ومهر البغي،
Sahih al-Bukhari 5346
So these matters are forbidden, including the price of a dog.
It is not permissible to sell it, even if it is permissible to keep it in the house, but selling it is not permissible.
As for the dog, it is not permissible to keep it in the house because the angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image, and it is not permissible to sell it.
