Q: A dog is in its old age, and is also very sick. Due to this sickness, the dog groans and cries in immense pain. He struggles to walk so he lives on pain meds. The owners love the dog, he is no trouble at all.
Is it permissible to put him down (euthanasia) due to his ongoing suffering?
A: Yes, it is permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
