4297. It was narrated from Abû Bakr bin 'Abdur-Rahmân bin Al-Hârith bin Hishâm that he heard Abû Mas'ûd 'Uqbah say: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ forbade the price of a dog, the gift of a female fornicator[1] and the fees of a fortuneteller.” (Sahih)
4292 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ عُقْبَةَ قَالَ: «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ثَمَنِ الْكَلْبِ، وَمَهْرِ الْبَغِيِّ، وَحُلْوَانِ الْكَاهِنِ»

1. According to the dominant majority of the people of knowledge, buying and selling of dogs is forbidden, irrespective of whether keeping it is permissible or not permissible. 2. 'The earnings of a prostitute', because adultery is a crime, an enormity. Therefore, its earning is also unlawful. And this is an agreed upon matter. 3. 'The fees of a fortuneteller': Kāhin signifies one who predicts the future. They used to have connections with jinn or genii and devils. Hence, they used to misguide people. Since such a vocation is forbidden, its earnings are also forbidden. And Hulwān, translated as fees, refers to gifts or bribes as well.
