2160 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَرِيفٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ثَمَنِ الْكَلْبِ، وَعَسْبِ الْفَحْلِ»

  1. 1

    [1] This refers to when the owner of a stallion rents it out to others to impregnate mares, and it applies to camels as well as horses. See explanation by Sindi.

Commentary

Cows, buffalos and goats etc., are taken to male counterparts for breeding purposes and the owner of the male animal (i.e., stallion) charges something for the female animal to mate with his male animal; these charges are incorrect. It should be for the sake of Allâh. But if the owner of a female animal offers something with his own goodwill, then it is allowed to be taken. (See Jâmi' At-Tirmidhi: 1274)
