Leftovers of cats and anything lesser than it, in domesticated animals, are pure. [End of text]
Leftovers refers to anything that the animal
has eaten and has left over or shared a vessel to eat from.
The proof for this is the Hadith, ‘They are not
impure, they are animals that are domesticated around you.’
The word ‘around you’ refers to humans
frequently sharing vessels with them.
The statement here also shows that there is an analogy
between cats and anything smaller than it in domesticated animals, as the
Prophet told us that this was the reason for lenience in the ruling, thus any
other animal which lives amongst us also takes the same ruling.
However, whatever the Shariah has not included
then they don’t carry the same ruling, such as dogs. Dogs are domesticated
however their leftovers are impure.
