Q: Is watching of animals mating permissible?
A: If you are referring to viewing videos of animals mating, then it is impermissible. Pictures of all animate objects are forbidden and haraam in Islam. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said:
إن أشد الناس عذابا عند الله يوم القيامة المصورون (صحيح البخاري 2/880 ، صحيح لمسلم 2/201)
Those involved in picture-making will be subjected to the worst forms of punishment on the day of Qiyaamat. (Bukhari 2/880, Muslim 2/201)
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
