The questioner : It was reported from ... that he said, "A large wolf." So what is your opinion? Regarding the fanged beasts, they say that it does not prey with its fangs; it has fangs, but it does not prey with them. Some of the brothers said this.
The Shaykh : As for those who know it, the apparent view is that we should say that every fanged beast is included, that this is the general rule, and that the intended meaning is aggression and predation. The word "fang" was used based on the majority of cases. If one out of hundreds of species is found to be harmless, [it is an exception].
