Is it forbidden to put a mark on the face of a beast (camel)? If so, does the prohibition include the entire head or just part of it?
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade branding an animal on its face and cursed whoever did so, and this is unanimously prohibited. The face for a human extends from the hairline to the chin lengthwise, and from ear to ear widthwise. For an animal, it is what is used for confrontation and includes the well-known organs. As for branding elsewhere, such as the ear or the body, it is permissible without dispute.
