Does the husky—a wolf hybrid with a dog that neither barks nor pants—take the ruling of a dog regarding its keeping and the impurity of its saliva, or the ruling of predatory animals given its closer resemblance to a wolf?
Everything born from a dog and another animal, even if pure, takes all the rulings of a dog: the prohibition of keeping it (except what the Shariah has exempted), the prohibition of selling it, and the impurity of its saliva. This is what the jurists indicated regarding the issue of what is born from a wolf and a female dog, which takes the ruling of a dog in impurity. Al-Ghazali mentioned that what is born from a dog and a pig, or from one of them and a pure animal, takes their ruling regarding the invalidity of sale. Ibn Qudamah mentioned that a dog, a pig, and what is born from them or from one of them are inherently impure in their essence, their saliva, and everything that comes out of them.
