The Approach of Shiite Jurisprudence Towards the Sale of Dead Animal to the Infidels

In the present day, Muslims have a wide range of business communications with the infidels and the people of the book. One of their communication platforms is trading. The conditions and necessity of interacting with the world require that Islamic countries and Muslims interact with the infidels or the people of the book and those who do not observe the rules. On the one hand, in Islam, for the correctness of transactions it is necessary to have some conditions without which the transaction is void; for example, the goods must have financial value among Muslims and transaction on the property that are valuable in view of the custom but the prophet has forbidden its trading is not correct. One of the issues that are forbidden in the Sharia law is the sale of dead animal and various religious reasons imply its prohibition. According to Islamic teachings, if the buyer and seller are both Muslims, their trading is invalid and forbidden, but the issue of current research is that the transaction is at a time when the customer is a disbeliever or one of the people of the book. In addition, we examine whether the religious arguments for prohibition of the sale of the dead animal is absolute and prohibit all of its benefit or some of its benefits are permissible even when the transaction is between two Muslims.
