The Ruling on Raising Cats and Buying Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on raising cats, and is it permissible to buy them?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible to buy them, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the price of a cat, just as he forbade the price of a dog. It is not permissible to sell them or buy them. However, keeping them is permissible; there is nothing wrong with keeping cats, especially out of need. Yes.
