Yes, keeping cats as pets is allowed in Islam. In fact, there are several Hadiths (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him) that mention the permissibility of keeping cats and treating them with kindness.
One well-known Hadith states that a woman was punished in the Hellfire for mistreating a cat, and the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized the importance of being kind and considerate to animals, including cats. Here is the Hadith:
“Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, ‘A woman was punished in Hell because of a cat which she had confined until it died. She did not give it to eat or to drink when it was confined, nor did she free it so that it might eat the insects of the earth.'” (Sahih al-Bukhari)
This Hadith underscores the importance of treating animals, including cats, with care, compassion, and kindness. It is encouraged in Islam to provide proper food, water, and shelter to pets, including cats, and to avoid causing them harm or neglecting their needs.
However, it’s important to note that while keeping cats and other pets is allowed in Islam, there are guidelines for cleanliness and hygiene that should be followed when keeping animals in the household. Muslims are required to maintain cleanliness in their homes and to keep the animals they own in a clean and sanitary condition.
There is nothing in the sources of Islam say keeping a cat as a pet haram . cats are special animals because they are favourite pet of prophet Muhammad SAW.
Keeping cats allowed in Islamic because the sahabi of prophet Muhammad PBUH Hazrat Abu Hurera loved a lot to him cats and always kept it with him Û”However there should not be a so much love that a person doesn’t speak about his religion

Yes, keeping cats as pets is allowed and even praised in Islam. Cats are generally considered clean animals in Islamic tradition, and there are several references to cats in the sayings (hadiths) of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that highlight their positive qualities. One well-known hadith mentions that a woman was punished in the afterlife for mistreating a cat by not feeding it or allowing it to roam freely. This illustrates the importance of kindness and compassion toward animals in Islam. Muslims are encouraged to provide for the well-being of animals under their care, including cats. This means ensuring they are fed, sheltered, and treated with kindness. There is no specific prohibition against keeping cats as pets, and they are regarded as clean animals in terms of Islamic dietary laws. It’s worth noting that while keeping cats as pets is allowed, the treatment of all animals in Islam is governed by principles of kindness and compassion. Muslims are encouraged to treat all creatures with care and respect.
