Question
I wish to know what is the ruling of the shariah regarding making animals fight for sport, in many Muslim countries, especially Napakistan, dogs, quails, hens and camels are made to fight one another. This attracts thousands of onlookers. Bear-bating is also practised when dogs are unleashed onto tied up bears. What does the Shariah say?
Answer
Without any doubt, these acts are evil and shaitaani. This brutality is HARAAM.
