Hiring out a buffalo for mating

Submitted by admin on Thu, 2016-02-11 07:46

Q: Recently, I started a farming business and alhamdulillah I have bought a few animals. One week ago, I bought a male buffalo for breeding, but someone told me that I can’t earn an income from the buffalo mating. Is it correct that I cannot hire out my buffalo to mate with other people’s buffalos? Can you also tell me how I should look after my animals in an Islamic manner?

A: Yes, this is correct. It is not permissible to hire out your animal for the purpose of mating.

Refer to some good, experienced farmer, preferably a person who has knowledge of Islamic values. He will be in a better position to explain this to you.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
