Our cat broke his leg: should we keep him? Should we put him to sleep?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

I am 10-years-old and my cat caught a baby mouse. We think he broke his leg. Is it okay to keep him if he is crippled and has no chance of living in the wild? He seems to be doing much better since I got him and he looks much more happy. He seems to like me a lot….

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,

It is best to let him live. See answer below.

Wassalam,

Imam Abu Hanifa (Allah have mercy on him) said, “Fiqh is to know one’s self: what is for it and against it.”
