Is It Permissible to Artificially Inseminate Female Livestock?

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

Question: Assalam alaykum,

What is the ruling regarding artificially inseminating female animals (cows in my case)?

Answer: Walaikum assalam,

I pray this finds you in the best of health and spirits.

While superior to let animals fulfill their right of sexual fulfillment—as the sunna is to deal with animals with consideration of their best interest (maslaha), artificial insemination of animals is not in itself impermissible.

And Allah is the giver of success and facilitation.

wassalam,
