Feeding the cattle against the husband's request fearing for them

Q 2: My husband breeds cattle, he beseeched me by Allah not to feed grains to the cattle until he returns. However, he was late and I feared that they might die of hunger, so I fed them the grains despite my husband's request to not do so; what do I have to do in this case? (Part No. 19; Page No. 216) Answer us, may Allah reward you.


A: If the reality is as you have mentioned, there is no sin on you for doing this, rather you will be rewarded for this In sha'a-Allah (if Allah wills), for it is impermissible for you or your husband to kill the cattle by depriving them of food, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: It is a great sin that a person neglects whom they sustain May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
