Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on trading in the buying and selling of cats?
Answer:
It is not permissible to sell cats. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade selling a cat, the price of a dog, this is not permissible, and selling a wolf, and selling wild beasts, this is not permissible. None of this is permissible. A hunting dog or a guard dog, this is not permissible. Yes, one may benefit from it within the limits of the nuisance it causes, but it is not sold. Its price is forbidden.
