The ruling on killing a cat if it is causing harm
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah to do you good. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: What is the ruling on killing a cat if it is causing harm, such that it enters the rooms, steps on the bedding, and urinates on it?
Answer:
If it causes harm and cannot be driven away except by killing it, then kill it. But if it can be driven away without killing it, then it is not permissible for you to kill it. Drive it away by whatever repels it, such as closing the door, hitting it, or otherwise. Yes.
