Chapter on What is Permitted to Be Slaughtered in the Sanctuary and Taken Outside
وَ سُئِلَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَدْخَلَ فَهْدَهُ إِلَى اَلْحَرَمِ أَ لَهُ أَنْ يُخْرِجَهُ فَقَالَ «هُوَ سَبُعٌ فَكُلُّ مَا أَدْخَلْتَ مِنَ اَلسَّبُعِ اَلْحَرَمَ أَسِيراً فَلَكَ أَنْ تُخْرِجَهُ.
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام was asked about a man who brought his cheetah into the sacred sanctuary (Al-Haram). Is he allowed to take it out? Imam عليه السلام replied: "It is a predator. Whatever predator you bring into the sanctuary as a captive, you are allowed to take it out."
