Today’s Hadith:
Volume 3, Book 36, Number 484 :
Narrated by Ibn ‘Umar (radiallaahu `anhu)
The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) forbade taking a price for animal copulation.
Not sure if people do this – charging for providing their male animal’s semen to another’s female animal.. but if they do, they must know it’s unlawful.
Some interesting facts:
No animal tries to attract another species of animal. The male animal does not deviate from its straight, divine path and there is no deviation found in the sexual instincts of animals. The male sperm is intended for females of the same species and no other species is taken into consideration.
Animals do not attack females belonging to another male of the same species and they do not pursue other female animals. Oviparous animals and mammals are not any different in this regard.
