Udupi, Jun 9: Udupi district Samyykta Jamaat Qazi, Al Haj P M Ibrahim Musliyar Bekal, declared that Islam religion does not approve of illegal things and thefts. Therefore, he said that stealing of any kind of animals, illegally transporting them, and killing them are all anti-religious activities.
"People who follow Hindu religion treat cows with reverence. At the same time, people of another religion consume it as food. In such a tricky situation, people have to own responsibility and behave with respect to ensure that the sentiments of people following other faiths are not hurt," he advised.
The Qazi said that when transporting animals one should make sure that they do not suffer torture. He also opposed killing of cows and calves which are stolen, and expressed himself against feeding the flesh of such animals to others. In a statement, he clarified that Islam has taught only to consume flesh that is got through the system of Halal.
