Summary
Exchanging a cat for cat food is still considered a commercial transaction, since it is the exchange of one item for another. The fatwa refers to an earlier answer stating that trading in cats is makruh (disliked). The exchange is therefore treated under the same ruling.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kami berpendapat transaksi demikian masih lagi berbentuk perniagaan, kerana menukarkan satu barang dengan barang lain.
