Sale of the prohibited

The prohibition of selling the prohibited in the forty-fifth hadith of Ibn Rajab's additions: 'God and His Messenger forbade the sale of wine, carrion, swine and idols' — so what is forbidden to eat or benefit from is forbidden to sell, the extension of the prohibition to its price being drawn from the question over carrion fat sought for caulking, oiling and lighting — answered 'no, it is forbidden' — and from the saying 'God fight the Jews: God had forbidden them the fat, so they melted it, sold it and ate its price' — the rule being that whatever's substance is forbidden, its price is forbidden too, and altering its form does not make it lawful (Jami' al-Ulum wal-Hikam p. 871).
