1275. Rāfi‘ bin Khadīj narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The earnings of the cupper is filth, the earnings of the fornicator (from harlotry) is filth, and the price of a dog is filth." (Ṣaḥīḥ) [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from 'Umar, ['Alī], Ibn Mas'ūd, [Abū Mas'ūd], Jābir, Abū Hurairah, Ibn 'Abbās, Ibn 'Umar, and 'Abdullāh bin Ja'far. [Abū 'Eisā said:] The Ḥadīth of Rāfi' is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Ḥadīth. This is acted upon according to most of the people of knowledge, they disliked the price of a dog. This is the view of Ash-Shāfi'i, Ahmad, and Ishāq. Some of the people of knowledge permitted the price of the hunting dog.

١٢٧٥ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ ‌يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ ‌إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ قَارِظٍ ، عَنِ ‌السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ ‌رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ ؛ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «كَسْبُ الْحَجَّامِ خَبِيثٌ»، وَمَهْرُ الْبَغِيِّ خَبِيثٌ، وَثَمَنُ الْكَلْبِ خَبِيثٌ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عُمَرَ، وَابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، وَجَابِرٍ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَابْنِ عُمَرَ، وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ. حَدِيثُ رَافِعٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ؛ كَرِهُوا ثَمَنَ الْكَلْبِ، وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الشَّافِعِيِّ وَأَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ. وَقَدْ رَخَّصَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ فِي ثَمَنِ كَلْبِ الصَّيْدِ.

Commentary

Fornication is one of the greatest sins and the earnings of a fornicator is unanimously agreed upon as unlawful. The earnings of the soothsayer are also unlawful.
