Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 12
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنِ اِبْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي أَبْوَالِ اَلدَّوَابِّ تُصِيبُ اَلثَّوْبَ فَكَرِهَهُ فَقُلْتُ أَ لَيْسَ لُحُومُهَا حَلاَلاً قَالَ« بَلَى وَ لَكِنْ لَيْسَ مِمَّا جَعَلَهُ اَللَّهُ لِلْأَكْلِ».
Ahmad ibn Muhammad narrated from Muhammad ibn Khalid, from Al-Qasim ibn Uruwah, from Ibn Bukayr, from Zurara, from one of the two (Imams) عليه السلام:
Imam عليه السلام said: regarding the urine of beasts of burden (load carrying animals) that touches clothing, Imam عليه السلام disliked it. I said: "Isn't their meat permissible to eat?" Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes, but they are not among what Allah سبحانه وتعالى has made for eating."
