English translation

2459. It was narrated that Suwaid bin Ghafalah said: "The Zakâh collector of the Prophet ﷺ came to us, and I went to him, sat with him, and heard him say: 'In my contract it says that we should not take any suckling young, nor combine what is separate, nor separate what is combined.' A man brought a she-camel with a big hump to him and said: 'Take it,' but he refused." (Da'if)

Arabic text

2457 - أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، عَنْ هُشَيْمٍ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ خَبَابٍ، عَنْ مَيْسَرَةَ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ، قَالَ: أَتَانَا مُصَدِّقُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ فِي عَهْدِي أَنْ لَا نَأْخُذَ رَاضِعَ لَبَنٍ، وَلَا نَجْمَعَ بَيْنَ مُتَفَرِّقٍ، وَلَا نُفَرِّقَ بَيْنَ مُجْتَمِعٍ»، فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ بِنَاقَةٍ كَوْمَاءَ فَقَالَ: خُذْهَا، فَأَبَى

Commentary

A moderately ordinary animal shall be taken in Zakâh, so that it does not cause any financial harm to its owner or to the poor, its recipient. A suckling animal would prove harmful to the poor, and giving over a lactating animal would be damaging to its owner.
