Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, Sam says: The owners of racehorses kill the horses when they fall in the arena if one of their legs is broken, by striking them with a lethal, poisonous needle. Their intention is that the horses will not recover, and that this is a mercy for them. Is this method correct?
Answer:
No, this is not permissible. This is the destruction of wealth. Horses are lawful to eat, or at least they can be given to animals, such as in zoos, where they are slaughtered with a lawful slaughter. If they belong to someone, they are lawful. If they are not eaten, they are given to the municipality or to zoos. This wealth is not to be wasted or destroyed. Yes.
