The Taxidermy of Slaughtered Animals and Their Display
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah love you. One of my relatives performs taxidermy on some animals after slaughtering them and sets up exhibitions for this purpose. What is the ruling on his action, and what is the ruling on going to these exhibitions to view them?
Answer:
This is nonsense. This is nonsense that is not permissible, and it is a waste of money in vain. The reason for taxidermying slaughtered animals and placing them in exhibitions is that they are not taxidermied unless there is a medical benefit for people of medicine and anatomy in order to benefit from them. As for an ordinary person who sets up exhibitions and trade, this is nonsense that must be prevented. Yes.
