Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Some people raise predators and snakes in their homes and make this their profession. Is this work permissible?
Answer:
What is his intention with this? Does he sell the predators or not sell the snakes? This is forbidden; it is not permissible. He gathers the snakes and predators in his house and leaves them there. This is not the act of a sane person who does this work. Yes.
