Scholars have differed on the ruling concerning killing frogs. Some have deemed it reprehensible (makrooh), while others have declared it unlawful (haram), citing the Prophet Muhammad's—peace and blessings be upon him—prohibition against killing them. As for dissecting a frog out of need or necessity, there is no objection to it. However, animals must be treated with kindness by tranquilizing them and ensuring their comfortable slaughter.
