LessonsPreserving the Qur'an, Prayer Etiquette, Rights, and Taqwa (Hadith 162–168)Quiz

A person using an animal for travel or work has responsibilities for its food, water, rest, and health. Continuing to impose heavy work on an ill or exhausted animal simply to meet a target conflicts with humane care.

Example 1: Before a long journey, check the animal’s condition and access to water.
Example 2: If the animal is unwell, do not impose unnecessary exertion for convenience.

The term الْمُعْجَمَةِ reminds us that an inability to describe pain in words does not mean that the pain is absent.
