The ruling on branding animals for identification

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Shaykh, what is the ruling on branding animals to identify them in the wild, such as camels, cattle, and sheep?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with branding them with a hot iron, but this should not be done on the animal's face; the branding should be on a part of the body other than the face. Yes.
