The Ruling on Embalming Animals

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on embalming animals?

Answer:
This is not permissible. It is a form of idle waste and a squandering of wealth. These are impure, dead carcasses. A dead animal is impure, and it is not permissible to use it, sell it, or transport it, because it is dead and a dead animal is impure. This also involves squandering wealth. Yes.
