It is stated on pages 323 and 324 of the 2nd volume of the 1012-page book ‘Jaĥannam mayn lay jānay wālay A’māl, that is, Deeds Leading to Hell, published by Maktaba-tul-Madīnaĥ, the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami, ‘If a person beats a quadruped (a four-legged animal) unjustifiably or keeps it hungry and thirsty or overburdens it with excessive work, a similar revenge will be taken from him on the Day of Judgement for oppressing the animal or keeping it hungry.’ The following Ḥadīš also authenticates it.
The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم saw a woman in Hell in such a state that she is hanging and a cat is scratching her face and chest, and the cat is punishing her as she [the woman] inflicted pain on it by keeping it hungry and captive in the world. This ruling applies to all animals. (Az-Zawājir, vol. 2, pp. 174)
