Killing Laboratory Rats and Mice
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Ten riyals? That is a small amount; there is nothing wrong with it.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I work in the field of medical research, and sometimes we are forced to conduct drug trials on animals, usually rats and mice, by injecting them with drugs. His question is about the clarification that was mentioned in the lesson: do we kill them after the experiment is over without hesitation?
The Shaykh:
If their remaining alive causes harm, as they become spoiled, then they are killed. But if their remaining alive causes no harm to people, they are left alone. Yes.
