Declawing a cat that is troublesome

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I wanted to know if it’s ok to laser declaw a cat? It’s a new technology that causes virtually no pain and no bleeding and the cat is back to normal. Please can you look into it and tell me if its ok to do? My cat is scratching everywhere and everything and is very aggressive.

Bismillaah

A: Do not declaw it. Through declawing it, you will leave it defenceless. If it is troublesome and you cannot manage to look after it, then give it to the SPCA.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
