34. Sales and Trade
٣٤۔ كتاب البيوع
Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade taking the price of a dog, money earned by prostitution and the earnings of a soothsayer.
عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ ؓ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ ثَمَنِ الْكَلْبِ وَمَهْرِ الْبَغِيِّ وَحُلْوَانِ الْكَاهِنِ
I saw my father buying a slave whose profession was cupping, and ordered that his instruments (of cupping) be broken. I asked him the reason for doing so. He replied, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited taking money for blood, the price of a dog, and the earnings of a slave-girl by prostitution; he cursed her who tattoos and her who gets tattooed, the eater of Riba (usury), and the maker of pictures."
إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ ثَمَنِ الدَّمِ وَثَمَنِ الْكَلْبِ وَكَسْبِ الأَمَةِ وَلَعَنَ الْوَاشِمَةَ وَالْمُسْتَوْشِمَةَ وَآكِلَ الرِّبَا وَمُوكِلَهُ وَلَعَنَ الْمُصَوِّرَ
