Is it permissible to sell kittens?

Question

Assalamu alaikum, im having 2 persian cats which are taken care by my children like giving them special food, one room alloted for them with fan etc. They are comfortable living but we have place for 2 cats so if they put baby kittens we can take care of them for few days and we want to sell it to others for some fixed money. Is it halal. Bcos we cannot keep all cats. And if we give it free the person who is adopting may not take care of the cats . If he give money then he will have some value for it. Pls give clarity

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

It is permissible sell cats/kittens. The income will be Halaal. [1]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

أما الهرة فقد ذكر شيخ الإسلام في «شرح السير» : أنه يجوز بيعها، سئل عطاء بن رباح عن ثمن الهرة فقال: لا بأس به

وَيَجُوزُ بَيْعُ الْهِرَّةِ لِأَنَّهَا تَصْطَادُ الْفَأْرَةَ وَالْهَوَامَّ الْمُؤْذِيَةَ فَهِيَ مُنْتَفَعٌ بِهَا

ويجوز بيع البازي والشاهين والصقر وأمثالها والهرة، ويضمن متلفها، لا بيع الحدأة والرخمة وأمثالهما
