The Shaykh : Hmm, what?
The questioner : The dog and the cat; is the ruling for others measured by them?
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : The dog and the cat.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Is the ruling for others measured by them?
The Shaykh : ... No, that’s two questions.
The questioner : It does not contradict... they sell animals, snakes, lions, and...
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And the people...
The Shaykh : No, this is even more so; this is even more so because snakes are not of any benefit.
The questioner : What do we say?
The Shaykh : We say it is forbidden; we say it is forbidden, yes, and likewise lions; are they of any benefit?
The questioner : ... There is a neighborhood in Riyadh where they sell...
The Shaykh : The point is, do not tell me it is a neighborhood in Riyadh or in Unaizah; that is not our concern. Ask about the ruling.
The questioner : What is the ruling?
The Shaykh : Yes, the ruling: the scholars have passed in the book of sales that it is forbidden to sell all predatory animals, do you understand? Except those that are useful for hunting, other than the dog. For example, the trained cheetah, falcon, and eagle do not contradict this because there is a benefit in them.
The questioner : Are they bought?
The Shaykh : How are they bought? Yes, the trained ones from these are bought, yes, except the dog.
