The ruling on slaughtering an animal if it is sick
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I have heard some people say: If an animal, a sheep, or something else becomes sick, and you do not want to eat it, do not slaughter it; rather, let it die without slaughter. Is this statement correct?
Answer:
If you slaughter it, there is nothing wrong with it. If you leave it, there is nothing wrong with it, perhaps it will recover. If you slaughter it to relieve it of its suffering, there is nothing wrong with it, perhaps Allah will facilitate someone to eat it. Some people may need it, and it will be eaten; it is slaughtered according to the Shari'ah. Some poor people may need it. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you, Your Eminence.
