So I have three cats, two of whom are very loving and affectionate towards me. Every time I pray, they come running to the room I’m praying in and rub themselves all over my legs. When I make ruku, they jump to give me a kiss on the nose. When I make sujud, they rub their heads on my head and even sometimes try to play with my head in that position. When I say the shahada and lift my finger, they rub their faces all over my finger. So I can’t help but scratch their heads while they do this. I only pet them minimally, in attempt to acknowledge them so they can stop trying to get my attention, but also because I love them and think that loving your pets and treating them lovingly is also a form of ibada. Is there anything against doing this? It happens during all of my 5 prayers. Someone recently told me it’s haram and I was shocked to hear that. First time posting in this community so please be kind 🙏
