Is one who disposes of sick or harmful fish by feeding them to cats sinful?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no harm in killing a harmful animal to repel its harm, especially if it is fed to a cat, because it has sanctity. It is permissible to kill a sick, non-harmful animal according to the Malikis, and it is more cautious to eat it if it is not harmful.
