| Animal rights, especially the right to life and the preservation of their generation are important issues in human societies, and their importance increases due to the role of animals in the survival of a suitable human environment. Sometimes these rights are proposed by some as an expression of the flaws of Islamic law with unscientific and more cultural and political purposes, while the background of legal and practical support for Islam is far ahead of other schools. In this article, by examining the verses, narrations, and related jurisprudential texts and by descriptive-analytical method, the arguments for the right to life of animals and their preservation and protection have been explained. The results of the research indicate the comprehensive support of this right by the Shari'ah law and in this research, material support, such as the right to livelihood, nutrition, health, residence, etc., and spiritual support are emphasized and it is one of the honors of Islam to express these rights by Imam Ali (a.s) in the ruling charter. |
