What is the ruling on stray horses and mules regarding collection (Al-Luqatah)?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Lost-and-Found Property
Primary text
Horses and mules share the same ruling as the cow, meaning they are prohibited from being taken as lost property. This categorization is based on their large size, which makes them similar to mules and horses, and because they are beasts of burden (Dawab), thereby resembling mules.
