Animals - Pure vs. Impure (Part 16)

-Animals which are pure (text of Zaad al-Mustaqni)

Al-Uthaymeen explains that animals are either pure or impure or that which doesn’t have blood flowing within it, such as insects.

What is impure are animals which we are not permitted to eat, but other than that then they are pure. 

The only exception made are cats and kittens:

-The Hadith of Aboo Qatadah where he was going to preform Wudhoo from a bowl in which a kitten had drank from, and the Prophet said about this, “They are not impure, they are domestic animals.” [Ahmad (5/296), Abu Dawud (75), an-Nasaa’i (1/54), at-Tirmidhi (92) - classed as Saheeh by him and Ibn Khuzaymah, al-Uqayli, Ibn Hibban, al-Haakim and others.]

The Hadith gives guidance that any animal which is domesticated carries the same ruling, so if an animal is domesticated and live amongst humans (such as donkeys), although they may be Haram to eat, the animal is pure.
