Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad that Said ibn al-
Musayyab said, "Bartering live animals for dead meat is forbidden."
Abu'z-Zinad said, "I said to Said ibn Musayyab, 'What do you think of
a man buying an old camel for 10 sheep?' " Said said, "If he buys it
to slaughter it, there is no good in it." Abu'z-Zinad added, "All the
people (i.e. companions) that I have seen forbade bartering live
animals for meat."
