ENGLISH 2 THE JURISPRUDENTIAL CONTRIBUTION OF ISLAM

FOR ANIMAL RIGHTS

Abstract

The research on animal rights seems to be in full swing in today's advanced age. There are three types of animal rights groups: Animal Rights, Animal Welfare and Animal Use. According to the first group, animal rights activists, animals have the same rights as humans. The other group's approach is more moderate, saying that animals can be used as needed, but their multiplicity should be kept in mind. Third-party leaders, on the other hand, do not fully recognize the rights of animals. They consider them to be mere working machines, and in this state of chaos, human beings, because they do not have the correct information about the real rights of animals, commit cruelty and abuse against them. If explained, it is possible to save them from cruelty to animals. After a careful study of Islamic teachings on animals, it can be said that the legal traditions of Islam (Islamic law) make possible more rights for animals than their motto Western law (legal traditions). However, Islam does not grant as many rights as animal rights activists demand. This Article reveals that Islamic law clearly defines the duties and responsibilities of human beings about animals. In Western law, however, rights that are for animals are returned to the owners of the animals.
