What is the ruling on collecting stray sheep (Ghanm)?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Lost-and-Found Property
Primary text
Stray sheep are permissible to be taken due to the danger they face from wolves. This is supported by the statement: 'It is for you, or for your brother, or for the wolf.' Donkeys are deemed equal to sheep in this specific matter because they also do not resist wolves.
