Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some students of knowledge have stated that the *sanawar* whose consumption and sale are prohibited is the wild cat, whereas the common cat known to us now is permissible for a person to eat and sell, because there is no evidence for its prohibition. Is his statement correct?
Answer:
There is no evidence for his statement. The *sanawar* encompasses all cats, and there is no evidence for him to specify it as such.
