Q 3: Are animals held accountable on the Day of Resurrection, and is it permissible to raise some of them
A 3: First: The resurrection of animals on the Day of Resurrection is a truth beyond doubt, and retribution is taken from some of them for others, as indicated by the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And when the wild beasts are gathered
وَإِذَا الْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ“Rights will certainly be restored to those entitled to them on the Day of Resurrection, (to the point that) even the hornless sheep will lay claim upon the horned one.”
لتؤدن الحقوق إلى أهلها يوم القيامة، حتى يقاد للشاة الجلحاء من الشاة القرناءCreation will take retribution from one another, until the hornless from the horned, and even the ant from the ant
يقتص الخلق بعضهم من بعض، حتى الجماء من القرناء، وحتى الذرَّة من الذرَّة
