What is the ruling on one who killed a cat with insecticide by mistake?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Raise your voice a little. Raise your voice.
The questioner:
Yes, in the name of Allah. A woman sprayed insecticide inside a storage room in the house to kill cockroaches and insects. There was a cat inside the storage room, and she knew it was there, but she forgot about it, thinking that it would not be affected by the insecticide.
The Shaykh:
It would not be affected.
The questioner:
On the second day, she found that the cat had died. What is required of her?
The Shaykh:
She made a mistake in this. It was obligatory for her to remove the cat from the place, but she erred and fell short, so she should not return to such a thing. Do not return to such a thing, and she owes nothing because she did not intend it, but do not return to such a thing.
