Millions of cats and dogs roam the world, and unchecked growth could lead to pet overpopulation. This can strain resources and harm animal welfare. While neutering a common solution, has its debate. Some people have ethical concerns about neutering, believing it alters animals in a way that goes against nature. To address these concerns, this study explores neutering through the lens of Islamic law and veterinary science, aiming to find common ground. The study concluded that neutering is a divine grace applicable during exigencies, and this concession is contingent upon the continuous affection and mercy humans show towards animals
