Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on buying and keeping these animals and raising them in the house: leopards and lions?
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible. Wild cats are not permissible, and it is not permissible to bring dogs into the house. Yes.
The questioner:
And as for the snakes, he says.
The Shaykh:
What is the benefit of them to you so that they bite you? What do you want with snakes? Yes.
The questioner:
He says, and as for the monkeys.
The Shaykh:
And not monkeys either. Everything from which you have no benefit, all of these, and they are also impure. Yes.
The questioner:
And finally, may Allah keep you safe, he says, the parrot.
The Shaykh:
Birds, yes. There is nothing wrong with birds. Yes.
