Question
In our building there is a feral cat. Is it permissible to kill it?
Answer
Praise be to Allah.If a cat or similar animal is
known to be a nuisance and aggressive, and a man kills it when it is
acting aggressively for his own protection, he does not owe any
compensation for doing so. It is like when a man kills an attacker in
self-defence. And Allaah knows best.
