Islam and Animal treatment
·The Prophet (peace be upon him) informs us of how a woman earned Allah’s wrath for her mistreatment of a cat. She entered the Hellfire on account of a cat that she imprisoned, neither feeding it nor letting it hunt for food.[Sahîh al-Bukhârî]
·A woman went to the Hellfire because of a cat that she kept inside, neither feeding it nor letting it out to eat from the insects of the land.(Saheehs of al-Bukhaaree and Muslim)
·Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: Allah's Apostle said, "A lady was punished because of a cat which she had imprisoned till it died. She entered the (Hell) Fire because of it, for she neither gave it food nor water as she had imprisoned it, nor set it free to eat from the vermin of the earth." Sahi Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 56, Number 689
·Abu Huraira narrates, "Allah's Apostle said, 'A prostitute was forgiven by Allah, because, passing by a panting dog near a well and seeing that the dog was about to die of thirst, she took off her shoe, and tying it with her head-cover she drew out some water for it. So, Allah forgave her because of that."Hadith 4:538
