Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu al-Sahaf from Sudan says: My profession in the Gulf is camel surgery, and sometimes I am asked to castrate a camel or a sheep, and it causes them pain. Is this lawful or forbidden? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
This is not permissible; this is a form of torturing the animal, so it is not permissible. It should only be done in a way that does not harm the animal. One should consult the doctors and those who treat animals and deal with their care. Yes.
