Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Respected Ulema Kiraam,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to confirm a previous discussion regarding feeding pets\u2019 meat. It was mentioned that meat only needs to be Taahir\/Paak, not necessarily halal.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have two questions:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Does this imply that meat from a non- halal animal, such as a lion, is permissible if blood is drained?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2.When we say the meat needs to be Taahir, does it simply require the shedding of blood, or must it be slaughtered according to Islamic rites, such as by a Muslim or Person of the Book?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I hope this message finds you in the best of Iman and health.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Islamic dietary law clearly defines what is Hal\u0101l (permissible) and Tahir (ritually pure) for human consumption. However, when it comes to feeding animals, the rulings may differ, particularly in relation to the source of the meat <\/strong>and\u00a0ritual slaughter<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

1.Whether meat from non-\u1e25al\u0101l animals (like lions) can be used for pet food.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.Whether the requirement of the meat being Tahir necessitates Islamic slaughter, or merely the draining of blood.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the Hanafi madhab, animals that are haram to eat (like lions, tigers, or any beast of prey) are generally considered impure (Najis) after death, even if the blood is drained. Their flesh is not Tahir, and thus not permissible to benefit from, even for feeding animals.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So even if the blood is drained, if the\u00a0animal itself is not permissible to consume (haram)\u00a0or it\u00a0dies without proper slaughter, then its\u00a0flesh is impure (Najis)\u00a0and it is\u00a0not permissible to use or feed.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is not permissible to feed your pets meat from haram animals\u00a0(e.g., lion), as such animals are inherently\u00a0impure and their flesh is\u00a0Najis, regardless of how they die.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For meat to be\u00a0Tahir, it must come from a\u00a0\u1e25al\u0101l animal\u00a0and be\u00a0slaughtered according to Islamic rites\u00a0(by a Muslim or Ahl al-Kit\u0101b). Simply draining the blood is\u00a0not enough\u00a0if the slaughter conditions are not met.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Carrion (maytah) or improperly slaughtered meat remains\u00a0Najis\u00a0and\u00a0impermissible to feed\u00a0even to animals, based on the principle that\u00a0naj\u0101sah cannot be used or benefited from.<\/span><\/p>\n
