As-salam alaykom brother, meron ako copy paste from islamic site at Insha'Allah maka dagdag kasagutan ito sa katanungan mo.

 

Allah says in the Qur’an, “ O you who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism)! Eat of the lawful things that We have provided you with, and be grateful to Allâh, if it is indeed He Whom you worship.” (Al-Baqarah 2:172)

Insha’Allah the aim of this email is to outline what is the definition of Halaal (Lawful) and Haram (Prohibited) in Islam, and to provide a guide or understanding of how one may identify what has been prohibited in Islam and what is Halaal. Also remember, if come across a product you are not sure of, or you find meat of an animal which you are not sure if it is classified as Halal or not, follow the advice of the Messenger of Allah, “Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt.” [Collected by Tirmidhi, an-Nasa’I and ad-Darimi; authenticated by Sheikh al-Albaani in Sahih al-Jami as-Saghir, Vol. 1, p. 637, Number 3378]

May Allah forgive me for my errors and mistakes. ameen


1. Introduction

Sheikh Muhammad bin Salih Al-‘Uthaimin said, “…it is necessary of you to know the basic principle regarding foods’ permissibility – except those things for which there is evidence of prohibition. If we are in doubt about whether something is permissible or forbidden, then it is permissible until it because clear that it is prohibited. The evidence for this is in the Words of Allah, Most High: “He it is Who created for you all that is on earth…” (Al-Baqarah 2:29) and the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Verily Allah has obligated the obligations – so do not neglect them. And He has limited the limits – so do not transgress them. And His silence about things is from His mercy, not forgetfulness, so do not investigate them.” (Ad-Darqutni No. 4/199 and Al-Baihaqi No. 10/122). According to this principle, all animals are permissible until the evidence of prohibition is established.” [Fatawa Islamiyah, Volume 6, p. 220]


2. Halal Food

Everything on this earth is permissible, unless evidence is provided for its prohibition. Even if the Messenger of Allah didn’t eat something, it doesn’t mean its not permissible! It could be that he didn’t travel far enough to find that kind of food, or he simply didn’t like it. For example, like in the case of the Lizard, he didn’t like it, so did not eat it, but he also didn’t prohibit it. And Allah knows best.

a) Land Animals

All animals on land are permissible, as long as there is no evidence to prohibit them, and as long as they are slaughter correctly. Allah says in Quran, “Made lawful to you this day are At¬Tayyibât [all kinds of Halâl (lawful) foods, which Allâh has made lawful (meat of slaughtered eatable animals, etc., milk products, fats, vegetables and fruits, etc.)]. The food (slaughtered cattle, eatable animals, etc.) of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) is lawful to you and yours is lawful to them…” (Al-Ma'idah 5:5)

“So eat of the lawful and good food which Allâh has provided for you. And be grateful for the Graces of Allâh, if it is He Whom you worship.” (An-Nahl 16:114) “… Eat of what Allâh has provided for you, and follow not the footsteps of Shaitân (Satan). Surely he is to you an open enemy.” (Al-An'am 6:142)

vii) Ruling on eating horse meat

The majority of scholars are of the view that it is permissible to eat horses, because of the sound ahaadeeth that have been narrated concerning that. Narrated Asma': We slaughtered a horse (by Dhabh) during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle while we were at Medina, and we ate it. [Sahih Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 67, Number 419]

Other scholars – including Abu Haneefah and his two companions – are of the view that it is makrooh to eat horse meat. They quoted a Qur’aanic verse and a hadeeth as evidence for that. The verse is as follows (interpretation of the meaning): “And (He has created) horses, mules and donkeys, for you to ride and as an adornment” [al-Nahl 16:8] The hadeeth that they quote is that which was narrated from Khaalid ibn al-Waalid, that he said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade the flesh of horses, mules and donkeys, and every wild animal that has fangs.” [Narrated by Abu Dawood, al-Nasaa’i and Ibn Maajah.] This hadeeth is da’eef (weak), and was classed as such by al-Albaani in Da’eef Abi Dawood.

As far as the consumption of horse-meat is concerned, Imam Abu Hanifa (Allah have mercy on him) considers is somewhat disliked (makruh tanzihan) due to its honour and due to the fact that a horse is needed in Jihad. Imam Abu Yusuf and Imam Muhammad (Allah have mercy on them both) consider it Halal, and it is said that Imam Abu Hanifa also retreated to this opinion. Thus, it would be permitted to consume horse-meat, although better to avoid.
