Summary
Not necessarily. People differ in nature, and some find cats repulsive or have a phobia because of past experiences. The Prophet SAW showed love and compassion to all creation, including cats, camels, mules and other animals, in line with the verse describing him as a mercy to all the worlds.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tidak semestinya begitu. Ini kerana tabit manusia tidak sama.
