Question:
What is the ruling on one who castrates some male animals? Is there anything required of him?
Answer:
Castrating an animal, if this is more beneficial and better, there is nothing wrong with it. This is a known matter. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sacrificed two castrated rams, meaning castrated ones. This is better for the meat and more desirable for people. There is nothing wrong with it. However, the castration must be done in a manner that does not involve torturing the animal, in a quick and skilled manner. And this is not to be done except by a specialist who knows how to perform this procedure. Yes.
