Is kicking food to a cat considered a forbidden act?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Moving food with one's foot is a form of disrespect and degradation, and degrading food is forbidden (). One must be careful not to waste. When feeding cats, food should be placed in a bowl and moved with a hand or a clean utensil. One must wash their hand before eating if it is dirty, due to the degradation of food involved otherwise.
