Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) Sunan Abi Dawud 3807Da'if (Al-Albani), is the meaning that if one kills a cat?
The Shaykh : He prohibited buying it, just as he prohibited buying a dog.
The questioner : Yes, and it came in a hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih al-Bukhari 5482. If the cat is one that gets rid of rats and drives them out, do you think it shares with the dog in the exception?
The Shaykh : I do not recall it right now. Do you recall that the hadith is authentic?
The questioner : Did he prohibit the price?
The Shaykh : Of the cat?
The questioner : Yes, and the cat (sunur) is also mentioned.
The Shaykh : How?
The Shaykh : No problem, but do you know that it is authentic?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Look here, in Sahih al-Jami' and Da'if al-Jami'. If it is authentic...
The questioner : It is in Abu Dawud, O Shaykh. Yes.
The Shaykh : It does not become authentic merely because it is in Abu Dawud.
The questioner : No, you authenticated it, excuse me.
The Shaykh : Ah, that is the meaning.
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh : So here it becomes clear: the important point is that if the hadith is authentic, the meaning is the prohibition of selling it and buying it.
