حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ رضى الله عنه

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ ثَمَنِ الْكَلْبِ وَمَهْرِ الْبَغِيِّ وَحُلْوَانِ الْكَاهِنِ

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) forbade taking the price of a dog, money earned by prostitution and the earnings of a soothsayer.

আবূ মাসঊদ আনসারী (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত যে, আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম কুকুরের মূল্য, ব্যভিচারের বিনিময় এবং গণকের পারিতোষিক (গ্রহণ করা) হতে নিষেধ করেছেন। (২২৮২, ২৩৪৬, ৫৭৬১, মুসলিম ২২/৯, হাঃ ১৫৬৭, আহমাদ ১৭০৬৯)

ہم سے عبداللہ بن یوسف نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ ہم کو امام مالک نے خبر دی، انہیں ابن شہاب نے، انہیں ابی بکر بن عبدالرحمٰن نے اور انہیں ابومسعود انصاری رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے کتے کی قیمت، زانیہ کی اجرت اور کاہن کی اجرت سے منع فرمایا تھا۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Abdullah bin Yusuf] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Malik] dari [Ibnu Syihab] dari [Abu Bakar bin 'Abdurrahman] dari [Abu Mas'ud Al Anshariy radliallahu 'anhu] bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam melarang uang hasil jual beli anjing, mahar seorang pezina dan upah bayaran dukun

Ebu Mes'ud r.a. şöyle demiştir: Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) köpek bedelini, zina parasını ve kahine verilen ücreti yasakladı. Tekrar: 2282, 5346, 5761 Diğer tahric: Tirmizi Nikah; Müslim, Müsakat

What it means

There are many noble and good ways to seek sustenance and provision which Allah has blessed us with instead of the evil, corrupt and illegal ways. The good ways suffices the person so he is in no need of the evil ones. The huge harm resulting from the evil ways outweighs whatever benefit they may presumably involve. Islamic law prohibits all the evil ways of earning provision, including the three types mentioned in this Hadīth: 1.

The price of selling a dog, as it is malevolent and impure (except for the trained dogs for three purposes: herding, hunting, and guarding, as mentioned in other verses of the Qur’an and Hadīth, etc). 2. The money a prostitute receives in return for practicing immorality, which destroys one's religion as well as the life of this world.

3. The money paid to people of misguidance and fraud, like soothsayers, diviners, and tricksters, who claim that they have knowledge of the unseen and have control over the created beings. They deceive people by their falsehood in order to take their wealth and devour it unlawfully. All of these ways are evil and prohibited in Islam and are impermissible to be used.

One should not give anything in exchange for them, since Allah has provided noble, good and permissible ways to earn provisions that can substitute for these (and any) evil, corrupt and illegal ways.
