Killing stray dogs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 9285 )
Q: There are a large number of stray dogs in the agricultural development project at Wadi Jizan , and they cause disturbance to the residents and frighten the children, in addition to destroying part of the agricultural experiments conducted in the field. Since it is difficult to drive them away from the station due to its large size and the fact that it is surrounded by a fence, we ask you to give your opinion on getting rid of them by killing them using poisonous bait. May Allah reward you with good.
A : If the situation is as described, it is permissible to kill the harmful ones in a way that does not
extend their harm to those that are not harmful. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
