When my pet (cat) dies, do I have to bury him? What are the proofs for the answer? Someone said that you can just throw the animal away. I don\u2019t know if this is true. Can you please clarify this for me? Jazakallahu khairan<\/p>\n

Answer<\/h1>\n

It is advisable to bury the animal rather than to just throw it away, as this is the best way to dispose of any living creature that has died. However how far this is necessary, this humble servant hasn\u2019t come across any specific text in the exegeses of fiqh to clarify this point.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, if there is no other option but to throw it away, then care should be taken that it is not thrown away in any public place where it would be harmful to other people due to the decaying and decomposing of the animal. One should also refrain from throwing it in wells etc., as this would make the water impure.<\/p>\n
