Would it be ok just to purchase a cat that has already had this done?","answer":"Regarding spaying or neutering, the default ruling is that it’s not permissible to neuter or spay animals unless there is a clear benefit or aversion of harm, as mentioned in the Hanafi books. I think with regards to domesticated cats these days, there is sufficient benefit and aversion of harm to permit spaying/neutering.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9ffb0b76658b4c232aee","tag":"Contemporary Life: Animals","count":37},{"_id":"668d9ffb0b76658b4c232af3","tag":"Pet","count":8},{"_id":"668da0070b76658b4c232c28","tag":"Cat","count":5}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:42:31.999Z"}
