Primary text

Hiring someone to carry wine for the purpose of pouring it out, or to carry carrion for the purpose of discarding it, or hiring for cleaning latrines (kunuf) is permissible because these actions themselves are permissible. Evidence for permissible hiring includes the Prophet (peace be upon him) hiring Abu Taybah to perform cupping (Hajm).
