Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Shaykh Salih is asked for your opinion regarding animals that are ill for approximately a month: is it better to leave them alone, or should they be slaughtered and their meat utilized?
Answer:
If they can be utilized by being slaughtered and eaten, then they should be slaughtered. However, if they are not to be eaten and are merely to be discarded, meaning their carcass is thrown away and no benefit is derived from them, then they should not be slaughtered. Instead, they should be left alone, in the hope that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, will heal them, or that they will die afterwards without being slaughtered. This is because if the slaughter is not for the purpose of eating their meat, it serves no purpose. Yes.
