وَ قَالَ: "أَجْرُ اَلزَّانِيَةِ سُحْتٌ وَ ثَمَنُ اَلْكَلْبِ اَلَّذِي لَيْسَ بِكَلْبِ اَلصَّيْدِ سُحْتٌ وَ ثَمَنُ اَلْخَمْرِ سُحْتٌ وَ أَجْرُ اَلْكَاهِنِ سُحْتٌ وَ ثَمَنُ اَلْمَيْتَةِ سُحْتٌ فَأَمَّا اَلرِّشَا فِي اَلْحُكْمِ فَهُوَ اَلْكُفْرُ بِاللَّهِ اَلْعَظِيمِ".
Imam عليه السلام said: "The wage of a prostitute is unlawful (suht), the price of a dog that is not a hunting dog is unlawful (suht), the price of wine is unlawful (suht), the earnings of a soothsayer are unlawful (suht), and the price of a dead animal is unlawful (suht). As for bribes in judgment, they amount to disbelief in Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty."
