Written Fatwa
Is it permissible to buy and sell cats?
I have a breed cat. Since it is not permissible to sterilize it, I have to mate it. Since cats on the street also have parasites, I need to mate them with another breed of cat. Cat care is expensive, and it is extra costly because it is a breed cat. What if I sell her kitten and pay for my own cat? Or can I use that money for anything, so is it permissible to trade cats?
It is permissible to sell the cat. The money to be earned from selling it will be halal accordingly. Our advice to you is not to be so busy with the cat. One of the passions of generations who have been cut off from Allah and the Hereafter is to waste such animals in cities. Stay away from an occupation that is likely to lose your blessings.
