The ruling on killing horses when their legs are broken in a race

The questioner:
I ask Allah for you, Honorable Shaykh. Sami says: The owners of racing horses wash the horses when they fall in the arena, and this is when one of their legs is broken by striking them with a lethal poisonous needle, and they understand that in that.

The Shaykh:
Abu Arba'a, yes.

The questioner:
This questioner says: The owners of racing horses kill the horses when they fall in the arena, when one of their legs is broken, by striking them with a lethal break, and their intention in that is that the horses will not recover, and that this is a relief for them. Is this method correct?

The Shaykh:
No, there is no problem with this; this is slaughtering a halal animal, and horses are halal. Rather, the horses should be slaughtered; at the very least, give them to the animals, to the zoos. So, slaughter them with a lawful slaughter. If someone eats them, they are halal. If they are not eaten, give them to the municipality to be given to the zoos, in the zoos. Do not waste this wealth or destroy this wealth. Yes.
