Question:

Assalaamu Alaikum

I would like to know what happens to animals when they die?

Answer:

Wa Alaikum As Salaam,

Animals have no soul, hence, when they die, they are finished. There isn’t anything more for them in terms of life in Barzakh, resurrection, reckoning or Paradise and Hell.

And Allah knows best,
