The Ruling on Treating Animals with Branding
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on branding livestock with a hot iron if no alternative is available, especially camels?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with branding them, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used branding. So, brand them with a hot iron on their thighs and necks, not on their faces. Branding is permissible for camels and the like, on the thigh or the neck, but not on the face. Do not brand them on their faces, neither camels, nor cows, nor sheep. They are only branded on the thigh, or the ear, or the like.
