The Ruling on Keeping Cats in the House

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister questioner says: There are many cats, both large and small, in our house. What is the ruling, Shaykh, on keeping cats in the house?

Answer:
There is no need for that, and they cause harm or result in ritual impurity, so it is not recommended to keep cats except out of need.
