The Method of Getting Rid of a Pet Dog
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from outside this country says that he has a dog, and when he learned the ruling on keeping one, which is forbidden for any reason other than a legitimate religious one, he wanted to get rid of it. What is the Shari'ah-compliant way to get rid of it, given that if he leaves it with people, it will harm them? Is it permissible for him to kill it?
Answer:
No, he should hand it over to the municipality, and the municipality will suffice him, meaning they will take care of the matter. Yes.
