The Ruling on Embalming Animals
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible to embalm animals, or is it not?
Answer:
What is the reason for it? There is no reason, because these are carrion, and carrion is ritually impure. Therefore, it is not permissible to keep them or embalm them except in the case of a genuine medical need. As for doing it out of hobby, or out of imitating the disbelievers, or out of frivolity, that is not permissible. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
