The Taxidermy of Slaughtered Animals and Holding Exhibitions for Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. One of my relatives performs taxidermy on some animals after slaughtering them and holds exhibitions for them. 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 taxidermy—taxidermy of slaughtered animals and placing them in exhibitions—is that they are not taxidermied unless there is a medical benefit for the people of medicine and anatomy in order to benefit from them. But an ordinary person who wants to set up exhibitions and trade in them, this is nonsense that must be prevented. Yes.
