Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to slaughter a sick animal to relieve it of a persistent illness?
Answer:
No, it is not slaughtered unless it is for food. If it is edible, then if he slaughters it, he slaughters it. But if it is not edible, he leaves it to the will of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He); perhaps Allah will cure it.
