The ruling on buying a cat and what is obligatory upon the one who bought it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I have a cat that I bought from one of the shops, and it was mentioned to us that you hold that it is not permissible, so is there a sin on me for that, and what should I do?
Answer:
Since you have done this, release the cat, let it go, and this is not permissible, buying it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the price of a cat and forbade the price of a dog, so it is not permissible to buy a cat, my brother. The market is full of cats, take the one you want and let it go. Yes.
