Q: For animals used in fighting such as roosters and dogs, their price depends on their fighting ability. If a rooster/dog is an excellent fighter, it would be expensive. So is it halaal to include the price of an animal's fighting ability in the overall price of the animal? Would the amount added to the price based on the fighting ability be halaal?
A: Selling an animal for this purpose is not permissible. This has been strongly prohibited in the Mubaarak Ahaadith. The Hadith explains that to engage two animals in fighting with each other is a major sin. Hence, to sell an animal and include this in the price will not be permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
