Getting rid of young rabbits by feeding them to dogs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: He has a rabbit farm, and when the rabbits give birth, he takes some of the young ones and either feeds them to dogs or slaughters them and throws them away. He says he has found through experience that if he leaves all the young ones with their mother, they all die. Is it permissible for him to do this?
Answer:
If he wants to give them to the dogs, he must slaughter them; he does not give them to the dogs while they are alive, for that is torture. He slaughters them and then gives them to the dogs. Yes.
