Abstract

This study aims to analyze the law of buying and selling cats from an Islamic business perspective, especially dissecting the contradictions between the prohibitions of hadith (HR. Muslim et al.) and modern pet needs that are beneficial to people's mental health. The qualitative approach was used with purposive and snowball sampling methods, including in-depth interviews with the owners of the Pamekasan Trust Cat Adoption, direct observation of cat lovers in Pamekasan, a survey of 50 respondents, and a literature analysis from sources such as Google Scholar and Mendeley to strengthen the argument of fiqh muamalah. The results showed that the majority of respondents (25 people) supported buying and selling domesticated cats because of practical benefits such as stress reduction and companionship, followed by a tolerant attitude (15 people), while a minority (10 people) adhered to the prohibition of hadith; Anglo-Saxon and Persian cats were confirmed by a number of scholars of the four schools because they were sacred, docile, and harm-free, in contrast to wild cats which were contextually prohibited. So as to affirm the adaptation of sharia to contemporary benefits for sustainable halal transactions.
