Is it permissible to sell wild animals for trophy hunting or for hunting for sport?

Answer

The answers to your questions are quite simple and straightforward. There is no conundrum understanding the impermissibility of all these deals mentioned by you. In fact, deep down in your heart you understand the villainy and impermissibility of selling animals for the purposes explained in your question. That is precisely why you have asked the questions. Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Seek a fatwa from your heart." If the Muslim's spiritual heart is healthy not blind - with the corrosion of sin and transgression - then he will readily understand the evil of deeds and refrain from perpetration regardless of there being no one to answer his questions, and irrespective of the 'permissibilities' which the liberal molvis structure on the basis of Fiqhi technicalities.

Furthermore, Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Sin is that which agitates your conscience."

Trophy hunting and hunting for sport are haraam kuffaar occupations of cruelty. They are the sadistic expressions of those who either are atheists or of such Muslims who are Muslim in name, not at heart. Nabi Isaa (alayhis salaam) had cursed the hunting occupation and he had displayed much displeasure for hunters. Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) described hunters as people of ghaflat. Hunting is nugatory of man's objective on earth.

When the ultimate objective of even an initially halaal trade/ occupation is sin and transgression, then it is not valid for a Muslim to engage in such trade/ occupation. Thus, if you are aware that the vehicle you are hiring to a man will be used specifically for zina or to hijack and murder someone, then whilst the rental for that vehicle will be technically halaal, the act of hiring the vehicle to the person is haraam and a major sin of grave proportions.

Animals have Rooh, and taking their life is permissible only for a valid reason and with Allah's Name. Its life may not be taken for idle sport, enjoyment and the like.

Some non-Muslims acquire animals (goats and cattle) for ritual slaughtering, to appease the spirits of their dead, etc. In the process they commit horrendous cruelty to the animals. They even cut off parts whilst the animal is alive, i.e. prior to slaughter. It is not permissible to sell animals to them or to sell animals to kuffaar who will send the animals to the abattoir for being killed kuffaar style. So while the actual sale transaction per se, is valid in the inceptional stage, the ultimate objective is haraam, hence embarking on such transactions is not permissible.

ty of an orphan, the maximum duration is three years for land, and one year for property (house, shop, etc.). However, in today's time the benefit of the Waqf shall be taken into consideration. If it is beneficial to have a long lease of three or five years for a Waqf property, then in our opinion it will be permissible. But longer than five years will not be permissible for a Waqf. And Allah knows best.
