Commentary
In the view of most of the scholars, buying and selling of dog is unlawful, but in the view of Imām Abū Ḥanīfah it is allowed. Imām ‘Aṭā and Nakha‘ī allow the buying and selling of a hunting dog. It is agreed upon by all, that money paid for illegal sexual intercourse (Zinā) is unlawful.
