Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What is the ruling on hanging necklaces on camels for the purpose of beautifying their appearance?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, provided there is no belief involved. If there is no belief involved, and it is merely to adorn them with a necklace, or to beautify their appearance, or because they are sacrificial animals so that they are recognized as such,
do not violate the rites of Allah or [the sanctity of] the sacred month or [neglect the marking of] the sacrificial animals and garlanding [them]لَا تُحِلُّوا شَعَائِرَ اللَّهِ وَلَا الشَّهْرَ الْحَرَامَ وَلَا الْهَدْيَ وَلَا الْقَلَائِدَ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:2]
meaning the camels adorned for sacrifice, then if the purpose is not shirk (associating partners with Allah) or belief, there is nothing wrong with it.
