Keeping & Selling Wild Animals in Islam: Fath al-Wahhaab, 1/273 The Scholars of the Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas were asked about the shar‘i ruling on dealing in or keeping wild animals that are used to fulfil whims and desires, including predators such as wolves, lions, foxes and so on. They replied: It is not permissible to keep and train wild foxes, wolves and other wild predators such as lions and tigers, because there is no benefit in that, and because keeping them may lead to great harm, as there is no guarantee that they will not get loose and harm people. It is also not permissible to own or sell predators such as wolves, lions, foxes and other wild animals that have fangs, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) forbade that. And because it is a waste of money, and the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) forbade wasting money. End quote. Pls do not support exotic wild animals as pets. (Especially if you are a Muslim) Pls SHARE.
