This book provides a comprehensive exploration of animal welfare through three main perspectives: the Qur’an, science, and positive law, serving as an ethical foundation for research and practices involving animals, including animal embryo studies. Comprising 18 chapters, the book offers in-depth discussions on animal rights and ethics, the application of welfare principles in livestock management, conservation, and ritual slaughter practices.

Through an interdisciplinary and comparative approach, the book also examines animal welfare legislation in Indonesia and other countries, positioning Indonesia within the global context. Findings from field studies conducted in various regions further enrich the analysis, presenting real conditions of animal welfare among cattle, ducks, chickens, and horses.

As both a scholarly and reflective work, this book underscores that animal welfare is a divine trust bestowed upon humans, as taught in Islam. These religious values harmoniously align with scientific insights and modern legal frameworks, making this book an essential reference for academics, researchers, policymakers, and the general public concerned with ethical and welfare issues related to animals.
