Is hunting and fishing for sport Makrooh Tanzeehi?

Answer

Hunting for sport is haraam. Allah Ta'ala says in the Qur'aan Shareef: "What, do you think that We have created you in vain and that you shall not be returned to Us." Life is a serious affair. For every halaal there will be hisaab (reckoning), and for every haraam there will be athaab (punishment). Those who hunt for sport are sadists who derive joy and pleasure out of the suffering of Allah's makhlooq (creatures).
