Bukhari

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
Imam Abu Dawud rahimahullah states that a "washimah" is a woman who creates marks such as moles on the skin of the face using kohl or ink, and a "mustawshimah" is one who has this done to herself.
(Sunan Abi Dawud, al-Tarajjul, Hadith: 4170)
In this clarification, the mention of the face is due to its predominance, because this act is prohibited in every case, whether it is on the face, the hand, the forehead, or elsewhere.
There are several forms of this, for example:
Floral patterns are made, sometimes a moon or star is drawn, and at times, the name of a friend is inscribed.
In any case, this act is forbidden because there is a warning of curse (la'nah) upon its perpetration.
It is necessary to remove this mark, even if the area becomes wounded.
If there is a risk of losing that body part, then it may be left, but repentance from this act is obligatory.
Men and women are equal in this ruling, meaning it is forbidden and impermissible for both.
(Fath al-Bari: 10/457)

Qays ibn Abi Hazim says that I went with my father to the house of Abu Bakr radi Allahu anhu, and I saw marks of kohl filling on the hand of Asma' radi Allahu anha. It is possible that she did this act before the prohibition.
It is also possible that there was a wound on her hand, and she applied kohl as a medicine, and after the wound healed, the marks of the kohl remained on her hand.
(Fath al-Bari: 10/462)
And Allah knows best.

Hadith Commentary:
By "the price of blood" is meant the wage of the one who performs cupping (hijama).
From this hadith, non-permissibility is apparent, but from another hadith which has been mentioned, this hadith has been abrogated.
In that hadith, it is clearly mentioned that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) himself had cupping performed and paid the person who performed the cupping his wage.
From this, permissibility is established.
Regarding the price of a dog, it is mentioned in Abu Dawud in a marfu‘ (attributed to the Prophet) narration that whoever asks you for the price of a dog, put dust in his hand; but in Nasa’i, there is a narration from Jabir (radi Allahu anhu) that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) made an exception for a hunting dog, that its buying and selling is permissible.
The wage of a prostitute, which she receives for facilitating fornication, is absolutely haram for a Muslim to consume; here, this wage has metaphorically been referred to by the word "mahr" (bridal gift).
By "kahin" (soothsayer) is meant those who tell fortunes, read palms, claim to inform about the unseen, and all such people who earn money through these kinds of deceptions.
It is haram by consensus, because it involves taking compensation for something false; this is taking a wage for a lie, which is unanimously haram.
Women who tattoo and those who get tattooed, who pierce the human body with a needle and fill it with color—this profession is also haram and its income is also haram.
This is because it is not befitting for any Muslim man or woman to commit this act.
Upon those who take interest (riba), as well as those who give interest, the curse has been pronounced; in fact, even the witnesses, the scribe, and the guarantor have been cursed, indicating how evil the business of interest is.
By "those who make images" are meant those who make images of living beings.
All of these have been cursed and their profession has been declared unlawful.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
In these two hadiths, five rulings are mentioned regarding which the Shari‘ah has issued a prohibition:
٭ The price of a dog.
٭ The earnings of a prostitute.
٭ The soothsayer’s fee.
٭ The buying and selling of blood.
٭ Making a slave-girl earn through prostitution.
In addition, three actions are identified that are causes of curse and condemnation:
(ا)
Practicing the profession of inserting kohl (surma) into any part of the body for the sake of beauty.
(ب)
Engaging in usurious (riba) transactions, i.e., giving or taking it.
(ج)
Engaging in photography and image-making.
(2)
Imam Bukhari rahimahullah’s purpose is only to inform us regarding the price of a dog, that it is haram and impermissible.
According to the majority of hadith scholars, the price of every kind of dog is haram, whether it is trained or otherwise.
The result of this is that if someone kills it, there will be no compensation due.
(Fath al-Bari: 4/538)
However, in this era, dogs are used for many purposes, for example:
Espionage, tracking, and their use for hunting is very well known.
Dogs have great importance in customs and other departments.
Keeping dogs for home security is also common among us, and the principle of jurisprudence is that whatever it is permissible to benefit from, its buying and selling is also permissible.
From the study of hadiths, it is known that in this matter, the hunting dog has been made an exception. Thus, it is narrated from Jabir ibn Abdullah radi Allahu anhu that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam forbade taking the price of any dog except a hunting dog.
(Sunan al-Nasa’i, al-Buyu‘, Hadith: 4672)
Although Imam Nasa’i rahimahullah has declared this narration as munkar, the hadith scholar of our era, Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah, has declared it authentic.
(Sahih Sunan al-Nasa’i, al-Buyu‘, Hadith: 4353)
(3)
It should be clear that dogs have a very strong sense of smell.
They track down criminals by scent.
They undergo proper training.
A lot of expense is incurred on them, and then these trained dogs fetch very high prices.
In any case, keeping dogs as a hobby or raising them for racing is not permitted in the Shari‘ah, but keeping them out of necessity is permissible.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
Making images is an act that brings about a curse. Similarly, keeping pictures of humans or animals in homes, watching films through television, VCR, and cable, etc., becomes a cause for the cessation of Allah’s mercy and blessings from the house. It is necessary to avoid such things.

(2)
The sin of images on currency notes, identity cards, passports, and admission forms will also be upon the one who makes them, provided that the one keeping them harbors aversion to them in his heart and possesses the resolve that if he had the authority, he would stop the making of such images and would establish some lawful alternative in their place.
Taking pictures for amusement and keeping them with oneself are both equally sinful acts.
May Allah protect us from this.
Ameen

Hadith Commentary:
According to most scholars, the sale of a dog is not valid. However, Imam Abu Hanifah rahimahullah has deemed it permissible to sell a dog and to consume its price, and if someone kills another person’s dog, compensation is made obligatory upon him.
Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal rahimahullah, based on this hadith, has declared the sale of a dog to be absolutely impermissible.
The prohibition regarding the wage for cupping (hijama) is one of dislike (tanzihi), because it is established from another hadith that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam himself had cupping performed and gave the cupper his wage. If it were unlawful (haram), the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would never have given it.
Tattooing and getting tattooed are haram, and making images of living beings is also haram, as in this narration the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has invoked curse upon all such professionals.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
In one narration of Sahih al-Bukhari, there is clarification. Hazrat ‘Awn rahimahullah states:
My father bought a slave who used to perform cupping (hijamah).
My father broke all the instruments through which he used to perform cupping.
I asked about the breaking of his instruments, so he gave the answer that is mentioned in the hadith.
(Sahih al-Bukhari, al-Buyu‘, Hadith: 2238)

(2)
In this hadith, six rulings have been mentioned, one of which pertains to consuming and giving usury (riba).
Although the benefit of usury is obtained by the one who consumes it, both are equally partners in the sin.
The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has invoked curse upon both.

(3)
From this hadith, it is also understood that making images of living beings is haram (prohibited).
Whether the image is photographic or sculpted, both have the same ruling; however, there is no harm in making images of inanimate things, such as:
trees, mountains, or rivers, etc., because their images are not a cause of any kind of fitnah (trial/temptation).
We will present our remarks regarding images in the Book of Manners (Kitab al-Adab), insha’Allah. Besides this, the rulings regarding the buying and selling of dogs, the wage for cupping, and applying kohl (surma) in any part of the body will also be discussed later.

Takhrij:
«أخرجه مسلم، المساقاة، باب لعن آكل الربا وموكله ، حديث:1598، والبخاري، البيوع، باب موكل الربا، حديث:2086 من حديث أبي جحيفة.»©Explanation:
➊ This hadith mentions the prohibition of usury (riba), as well as the curse upon the one who takes usury, the one who gives it, the one who records it, and those who witness it.
➋ Usury (riba) is prohibited by explicit Qur’anic text (), and for those who do not refrain from it, there is a declaration of war from Allah and His Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
➌ This is such a curse in which most people are ensnared and afflicted.
Every Muslim should sincerely strive to free himself from this curse.
