محکمہ جنگلی حیات پنجاب کےقوانین ِ تحفّظِ حیوانات اور شکار کا اسلامی تناظر میں جائزہ

Abstract

From the ancient time man has been hunting animals for food and other necessities.Before Islam there were no laws on animal protection and hunting. Islam after its advent not only gave all living beings their rights but also made animals an ummah like human beings. Islam allows us to hunt animals conditionally for food and other necessities. In the Quran and Hadith and books of Fiqah we have detailed rules and regulations regarding the protection of animals and hunting.

All countries have established permanent departments in the areas related to human life,so that the sector can devolp and help in human welfare.Institutions related to wildlife have also been established in the world,who are working to ensure wildlife protection, prevention of trafficking and poaching. If this Department is strong, wildlife is protected and the environment is kept clean.The Punjab wildlife department also enacted laws on wildlife conservation and hunting,some of them are in accordance with Islamic laws while some other laws are also contrary to Shariah principles.
