Question

I'd like to inquire about commercially available cat food of the "seafood" variety.

a) Is it permissible to purchase seafood varieties that contain a % of carrion smaller than the main ingredient of fish.

b) If so, is it permissible to feed such food to ones pet?

Answer

It is not permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
