Muwatta Malik #1416
Business Transactions
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Abu Bakr ibn
Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Harith ibn Hisham from Abu Masud al-Ansari that
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
forbade the sale price of a dog, the earnings of a prostitute and the
earnings of a fortune teller.
By the earnings of a prostitute
he meant what a woman was given for fornication. The earnings of a
fortune teller were what he was given to tell a fortune.
Malik said, "I disapprove of the price of a dog, whether it is a
hunting dog or otherwise because the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, forbade the price of a dog."
