Etiquette and ethics of Islam to animals
A Muslim must believe that all creatures on earth is Allah creation, and therefore it should be loved, cared cherish them. As for the taste that it should be followed by ethics and manners on islam, it is:
1. Give him eat and drink when the animal was hungry and thirsty, because the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam has said:
"At each of which has a wet liver (animals) that there is a reward (in doing good to Him)" (Reported by al-Bukhari: 2363)
"Those who do not are not necessarily loved compassion" (Reported by al-Bukhari; 5997, Muslim: 2318)
"Have mercy on who's on this earth, surely you pitied by those in heaven" (Reported by At-Tirmdzi: 1924)
2. loving and affectionate to animal, because the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam has said when his friends to make a bird as archery targets: "Allah curse those who make something animals as the target" (Reported by al-Bukhari: 5515, Muslim: 1958 this editorial Ahmad history: 6223)
He has also banned confining or tying animals to be killed with arrows / speared and the like, and because he also has said: "Who on earth has hurt the feelings of this bird for his son? Bring her children".
He said that after he saw a bird circling looking for their children who are taken out of the nest by a Companion "(Abu Dawud: 2675 with a saheeh sanad).
3. displeasing when slaughtered or killed him, because the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam has said,
"Allah has obliged ihsan (doing good) over everything, so if you kill let applies ihsan in the murder, and when you slaughter let applies both in the slaughter and he should sharpen the blade" (Muslim: 1955).
4. Do not torment him with torture in any way, or to starve, beat, burden him with something he can not afford, torturing or burning, because the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam has said: "A woman entered Hell because of a cat which he braces up dead, therefore he go to hell because the cat, because she did not feed him nor give him a drink when he locked him, nor is he letting insects on the earth "(Reported by al-Bukhari: 3482).
When he walked across the anthill that had been burned, he said:
"Surely no right to torture with fire besides Rabb (Lord) the owner of the fire" (Abu Dawud: 2675, hadeeth).
5. It may kill animals that bother you, such as wild dogs, wolves, snakes, scorpions, rats and others, as he has said,
"There are five kinds of animals wicked to be killed in a halal (not Ihram), and at the time of ihram, namely snakes, crows were white back and belly, rats, wild dogs and eagles" [HR Muslim: 1198].
Also there is a hadeeth which allow killing scorpions and condemned.
6. It may give wasam (sign / stamp) with a hot iron on the ears of cattle belonging na'am for beneficiaries, because it has been narrated that the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam gave wasam on camel ear shadaqah with his noble hand. While other animals besides belonging na'am (camels, goats and cows) should not be given wasam, because when the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam saw a donkey whose face was given wasam he said,
"Allah curse those who gave wasam in the face of this donkey" (Muslim: 2117)
7. Know the rights of God in animals, which fulfill zakat if the animal is obligatory Zakat.
8. Not to be busy taking care of the animals and forget obedient and dhikr to God. And God has said:
"O ye who believe! Let not your riches or your children divert you from the remembrance of Allah" (QS. Al-Munafiqun / 63: 9)
Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam also has said with regard to the horse:
"The horse was there three kinds. Riding for someone to be a reward, horse for someone to be protective and a horse for a person into sin. The horse is rewarding is a horse person dipangkal to fisabilillah, he mostly dwells on the prairie or in the garden. So what is eaten by the horse during dipangkal in meadows or in the park, then the owner got the rewards of virtue. and if he had left it and then climb one or two places higher, then trace and faeces into the rewards of virtue for him. Therefore horse like it to be a reward for their owners. horses are tied by a person for wanting to keep her honor (not begging) and he did not forget the rights of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala on the neck or the back of the horse, then the horse becomes her protector. and tied horses (dipangkal) by someone because of pride, riya and hostile to the Muslims, then the horse is sin for him "(Reported by al-Bukhari: 2371)
That line of adab or ethics are always maintained by Muslim against animal obedience to Allah and His Messenger, as the practice of the teachings ordered by Shari'ah, the Shari'ah is full of grace, sayari'at the fibers with kindness for all beings, humans or animals.
