The Ruling on Embalming Animals (Questions)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Another question: the questioner asks about the ruling on embalming animals.
Answer:
It should be avoided; because it is the destruction of wealth without right, a waste of wealth. Some people may think it is a hanging image, and it may lead to image-making, or they may hold beliefs about it. Embalming images, whether it is embalming a cat, or a rabbit, or a falcon, or such, and hanging it up, people may think something of it, or hold bad beliefs about it, so it should not be done. It is obligatory not to do it, and because it is a waste of wealth, with no benefit from a piece of paper. I had a need in the schools. It is not fixed. Yes.
