Deceiving Muslims by selling the meat of dogs and cats

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on one who deceives Muslims by selling them the meat of dogs and cats, claiming that it is beef or mutton? He says: Is there a specific punishment prescribed by the Shari'ah for this?

Answer:
Yes, this is a great evil. It is obligatory to report anyone who is known to do this, and one should not delay in reporting it. He is giving people haram (forbidden) food and making them eat haram (forbidden) food.
