The ruling on trampling bread with the feet to crush it for livestock feed

Question:
Atiyah from Riyadh is with us on the line, Atiyah. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Peace. May Allah keep you in good health, Shaykh. May Allah keep you in good health. I have two questions, Shaykh. My first question is about bread. We get it from the bakeries, and some of the workers sit on it with their feet so we can give it to the sheep. What do you say? Your question, Atiyah, is about the bread, right? Yes, that is right. Some of the workers sit on it with their feet to crush it and feed it to the sheep. Yes. The second question. Hold on a moment, Atiyah. Yes, Shaykh Salih.

Answer:
If they have washed their feet and there is no dirt or impurity on them, and the dough is too much for them to work with except by using their feet, then there is nothing wrong with that. However, if there are machines—praise be to Allah, there are machines for dough now that do the work of the dough—there is no need for the feet now, yes.
