The Benefits Derived from Livestock:
Allah Almighty has created human nature in such a way that, by using his intellect, man brings all kinds of animals under his control, and He has made the nature of quadrupeds such that they become obedient to man. Otherwise, among these quadrupeds, there are many that are much stronger than humans. A horse can kill a man with a kick. A camel can sink its teeth into a man's skull, and an elephant can crush a man under its feet and thus rid itself of him. But it is a special favor of Allah Almighty upon man that a long caravan of camels can be led wherever desired by a young child holding their reins. Then, like inanimate objects, man subjugates creatures much larger and stronger than himself and derives many kinds of benefits from them. These quadrupeds serve as mounts for man and also become his food. From their hair, he makes clothing. He also obtains milk from them, from which yogurt, butter, cream, ghee, etc., are made. Even after these quadrupeds die or are slaughtered, he uses their skins, bones, and teeth for his purposes.
