2027 Horse, mules, and donkeys as well as other animals may be beasts of burden, but they may also be pedigree animals
bred for beauty and for all those more refined uses, such as processions, in which grace and elegance is the
predominant feature. (16.8)
2028 If we examine the history of transport, there have been vast changes through the ages, from rude pack animals to fine
equipages, and then through mechanical contrivances, such means of transport as elegant coaches, tramways and
railways, useful motor lorries and Rolls-Royce cars, and air-ships and aeroplanes of all descriptions. At any given
point of time, many of these were yet unknown to man. Nor can we suppose the limit to have been reached now or
that it will ever be reached at any future time. Through the mind and ingenuity of man it is Allah that creates new
things hitherto unknown to man. (16.8)
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith
Hadith 3.559
Narrated by
Abu Huraira
Allah's Apostle said, "Keeping horses may be a source of reward to some (man), a shelter to another (i.e.
means of earning one's living), or a burden to a third. He to whom the horse will be a source of reward is
the one who keeps it in Allah's cause (prepares it for holy battles) and ties it by a long rope in a pasture (or a
garden). He will get a reward equal to what its long rope allows it to eat in the pasture or the garden, and if
that horse breaks its rope and crosses one or two hills, then all its footsteps and its dung will be counted as
good deeds for its owner; and if it passes by a river and drinks from it, then that will also be regarded as a
good deed for its owner even if he has had no intention of watering it then. Horses are a shelter from
poverty to the second person who keeps horses for earning his living so as not to ask others, and at the same
time he gives Allah's right (i.e. Zakat) (from the wealth he earns through using them in trading etc.) and
does not overburden them. He who keeps horses just out of pride and for showing off and as a means of
harming the Muslims, his horses will be a source of sins to him." When Allah's Apostle was asked about
donkeys, he replied, "Nothing particular was revealed to me regarding them except the general unique verse
which is applicable to everything: "Whoever does goodness equal to the weight of an atom (or small ant)
shall see it (its reward) on the Day of Resurrection."
Al-Muwatta Hadith
Hadith 21.45
Horses and Racing Them and Expending in Military Expeditions
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, held a race between horses which had been made lean by training,
from al-Hafya to Thaniyatu-lWada. He held a race between horses which had not been made lean from the
Thaniya (a mountain pass near Madina) to the mosque of the Banu Zurayq. Abdullah ibn Umar was among
those who raced them .

Zakah on Animals Other Than Cattle (al-An'am)
Zakah is not applicable to animals other than cattle. Thus, there is no zakah on horses, mules, or donkeys unless they are
used for the purpose of trade.
HOSPITALITY:
33:53 - O ye who Believe! enter not the Prophet's houses until leave is given you for a meal (and
then) not (so early as) to wait for its preparation: but when ye are invited enter; and when ye
have taken your meal disperse without seeking familiar talk. Such (behavior) annoys the
Prophet: He is ashamed to dismiss you but Allah is not ashamed (to tell you) the truth. And
when ye ask (his ladies) for anything ye want ask them from before a screen: that makes for
greater purity for your hearts and for theirs. Nor is it right for you that ye should annoy Allah's
Apostle or that ye should marry his widows after him at any time. Truly such a thing is in
Allah's sight an enormity. 3755375637573758
3755 The rules of refined social ethics is as necessary to teach to-day as it was with the rude Arabs whom the holy Prophet
had to teach in his day. Those mentioned in this verse may be briefly recapitulated thus: (1) Enter not a friend's house
without permission; (2) if invited to dine, don't go too early; you are asked to dine, not to wait for the preparation of the
food; (3) be there at the time appointed, so that you enter when you are expected and invited; (4) after the meal, don't
get familiar with your host, especially if there is a great distance between him and you; (5) don't waste time in tittle-
