A cat died in front of my house. Is it obligatory for me to bury it? How?

In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful and Compassionate

May His blessings and peace be on His Beloved Prophet, the best of creation, and his family, companions, and followers

It is not obligatory for you to bury animals that die. However, it is best to do so, in order to ward off annoyance from people.

And Allah alone gives success.

- Amjad Rasheed.

(Translated by Faraz Rabbani)

السؤال : ماتت هرة أمام بيتي ، هل يجب عليّ دفنها ؟ كيف ؟

الجواب : لا يجب دفنُ الحيوان إذا مات ، لكنْ الأفضلُ فعلُ ذلك دفعاً للأذى عن الناس .
