The ruling on an animal other than a dog licking in a vessel

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What about an animal other than a dog, such as a pig?

Answer:
There is no specific text regarding it, so it is excused, just as it was said: "We return to them, and they return to us." However, if the water is little, it is washed with the ordinary washing, such as a lion or a tiger, or a wolf. If it licks in a vessel with little water, it is washed, but there is no specification of seven times; rather, it is once, twice, or three times, according to the estimate that its effect has been removed.
Q: What is the ruling regarding a pig licking?
A: The pig is the same, like the wolf, the lion, and the tiger. Its analogy to the dog is not apparent, meaning: it is like the rest of the animals.
