Feeding cats and dogs has become common lately. There is no one selling food where we are. Is it a sin if I sell food for these animals? I am not comfortable, especially since it is not permissible to keep dogs.

Our religion commands to treat animals well. In this general line, if the food of animals such as cats and dogs is not produced from a haram object, it can be bought and sold. The fact that some people keep the dogs illegally does not mean that this trade is prohibited.
