Feeding hot food to sheep and getting rid of rotten food
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A listener to the program says: Regarding hot things that a person may not be able to tolerate, Shaykh, he says: I give these to the sheep I have. My question is: Is that considered torturing the animal? And what do I do with it when it rots in the refrigerator? Do I throw it in the trash?
Answer:
Do not give animals anything that involves hardship or heat; rather, cool it down and then give it to the animals, because this is part of being gentle with them. As for when something rots and becomes unfit for use or consumption, there is no harm in throwing it away. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
