The Animal in Islam is a first synthesis on the discourses and representations of classical Islam vis-à-vis the animal. How to classify the animal? How to name it?

Isn't the animal, source of food, also a source of impurity?

What attitudes to adopt in the face of his death and his sacrifice?

So many questions to which Muslim authors have offered answers, nomenclatures, a cosmogony.

In the stories of the Muslim prophets and saints, the place of animals reflects a vision of human beings.

The book offers cross-references reflecting the immense perplexity engendered by the perception of animals by Muslims.
