Question
Is it permissible to sell dead chickens for feeding crocodiles which a company breeds for skins, etc.? Or can we allow the company to collect the dead chickens from our plant for this purpose?
Answer
It is not permissible to sell dead chickens even if it is for feeding crocodiles. It is also not permissible to allow a company to collect the dead chickens if it is known that the carrion will be used as feed for any animals. Carrion is fit for only the shayaateen and vultures. Carrion is not permissible for even dogs. In other words, it is not permissible to feed even dogs with carrion. Yet nowadays, millions of Muslims devour halaalized carrion.
