Are we allowed to adopt cats, most adoption places have a fee of about 300$ but could vary, does this fall under purchasing a cat.","answer":"According to the school of Imam Shafi, as mentioned by the great scholar of hadith and fiqh imam Nawawi in his Majmu`, buying and selling cats is halal. The hadith in Muslim that appears to prohibit the sale of cats is referring to wild cats, not domesticated cats.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9ffb0b76658b4c232aee","tag":"Contemporary Life: Animals","count":37},{"_id":"668d9ffb0b76658b4c232af3","tag":"Pet","count":8},{"_id":"668da0070b76658b4c232c28","tag":"Cat","count":5}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:42:31.698Z"}
