Question
Can I Get My Pet Rabbit Neutered?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate
I pray you are in good faith and health. Thank you for your question.It would be permissible to neuter your pet rabbit for the reasons you have mentioned. It is causing a nuisance in the home and unnecessary work.Castrating and neutering an animal to fatten it, make its meat tastier, prevent it from breeding, and any form of aggressive behaviour are examples of valid reasons.
