Answer
It is not advisable for one to keep rodents as pets since it is of no avail. There is no harm in keeping these animals if one derives such benefit from them which is not in any way contrary to the teachings of Shari?ah.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
