Euthanasia for animals

· 10 Jumada I 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I want to give up my cat to a charity who will help rehome them. One of the things I have to sign is a declaration that the charity is allowed to euthanise the cat if they have any “social, behavioural or other substantive reasons.” Am I allowed to sign this?

Answer

Yes.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
