Ruling on finishing off an injured animal

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Sometimes we find animals on the road,For example: cats and dogs that have been run over by a car or something else, and their backs or legs are broken; but they have not died yet, and there is still some life in them. Is it permissible to finish them off and kill them, for example, by running them over with a car or something else?The Shaykh: Is it a permissible animal?The questioner: No, cats or dogs or others.
It is not permissible to finish them off. If you see a sick animal, leave it alone; because it is not your responsibility, and perhaps it will heal by the will of Allah.
