Question
Is it permissible to sell cats? Is declawing cats permissible? Their claws are removed to prevent them damaging expensive furniture, etc.
Answer
It is permissible to sell cats. Declawing cats is cruel and haraam. It is not permissible to sell cats to a person who will be declawing them. Allah Ta'ala did not create their claws in vain.
