Hadith 1.1

Business Transactions

ENGLISH

Aba Juhaifa said that the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade the price paid for blood[1], the price paid for a dog, and the earnings of a prostitute, and cursed him who accepted and him who paid usury, him who tattooed and him who had himself tattooed, and the sculptor[2]. Bukhari transmitted it. 1. This refers to the blood of an animal. 2. <i>Musawwir</i>. The meaning is more comprehensive than any <i>English</i> word. It also means “painter”, or anyone who produces representations of living beings.

ARABIC

وَعَن أبي حجيفة أَنَّ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ ثَمَنِ الدَّمِ وَثَمَنِ الْكَلْبِ وَكَسْبِ الْبَغِيِّ وَلَعَنَ آكِلَ الرِّبَا وَمُوكِلَهُ وَالْوَاشِمَةَ وَالْمُسْتَوْشِمَةَ وَالْمُصَوِّرَ. رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ
