Alhamdulillah.
The fourth category
of the things that we are not permitted
to consume among the
land animals,
an animal that was born
as a result of a crossover
between what is halal and what is haram.
So a mule
is the result of the mating of a horse
and a donkey.
So because horses and this is the most
authentic opinion.
Yes, they're valuable. They're important
in Islam, but they fall under the
default rule.
So if you slaughter a horse then it
becomes halal
and this was done at the time of the
companions and they consumed the meat of
a horse that they've slaughtered no
problem.
Donkeys on the other hand as we
mentioned in the last class were
prohibited by the prophetam at the time
of on the seventh year of hijra. So the
mating of something that is halal and
haram resulted in a mule.
This takes the side of haram
because whenever we have an imbalance we
we don't know something that has both
halal and haram in it. We always take
the side of rather being safe than
sorry.
And the ruling of mule meat is haram
because it's a crossover between a halal
and a haram animal.
Fifthly is that which feeds on carcasses
and impure things. In Arabic, it's
called alal
and it is a sort of a vultures like
vultures, crow, crows, and uh other
scavengers that
would feed on things that are bad,
carcasses, dead meat. If they find
feces, they would eat it. Mainly
speaking, this is well known with
chicken,
but it can be found in sheep. It can be
found in some cows and cattle and and
the like.
So scholars say if this type of an
animal
that feeds on such filth
and it impacts its milk
and the taste and smell of its flesh, it
becomes haram because it is najis.
In a an authentic hadith, the prophet
sallallaihi wasallam prohibited eating
the meat of alal
and
the scholars say how to make it halal
again.
They say that you have to separate it,
feed it halal food until
it becomes pure until its eggs or its
meat or its uh uh milk becomes pure then
you can eat it and consume it.
Also the scholars mentioned the ruling
on frogs and I know that it is a
delicacy in France and some other
countries. It is prohibited
not only to consume frogs but also to
kill them and there is no means of
eating it without killing it. And the
prophet sallallaihi wasallam prohibited
using it for medication when a companion
asked him that we use it for our
medication and he prohibited killing it.
So eating it as well is prohibited. The
reason some say because the sound it
makes is
and it is glorifying allahel as
mentioned in some hadiths. Others say
because it feeds on insects on and and
and like flies and uh um spiders and and
and the likes. So and worms and and the
likes. So this is why it is disliked
things that would make it haram to eat.
Also scholars mentioned
desert leard.
A desert lizard is a big animal that
lives in the le in the deserts. It's not
like the the jo that goes in homes. This
is
prohibited to consume and it's mandatory
for us to kill when we see it. No, we're
talking about the desert lizard.
And this is halal
according to the vast majority of
scholars because of the hadith.
Once it was cooked and presented to the
prophetam
and the prophet wanted to consume it. So
his wives immediately deliberated and
said we must tell him what this is
because they knew that he doesn't like
it. So they told him, "Oh prophet of
Allah, it's a desert lizard." So
immediately he refrained. So they asked
him
and specifically the one who asked him
was
the sword of Allah one of the great
warriors and companions of the
prophetam. So is it a pro oh prophet of
Allah is it haram
and the prophet said no but it is not
found
in my homeland so I'm not accustomed to
it and that's why I resent it. I don't
like it. So took it and ate it in front
of the prophetam and the prophet did not
comment on that which means that if it
were haram he would have immediately
told him that this is haram.
Now in the Quran
there are a number of things that
allahel
has mentioned to be haram as per chapter
five.
So
an animal that was killed through
strangling.
Now these animals are listed are all
haram
to consume
due to the nature of death.
For us as Muslims, we cannot eat an land
animal or a bird unless it is
slaughtered with a knife
and we mention the name of Allahbar
and we slaughter it. This is the only
way it becomes halal.
Or if we hunt it, if it's a game and we
say and we shoot
and it dies, that's it. So if it dies
through other means, give examples.
Number one,
strangled.
So if an animal was strangled to death
and this happens in some East or South
East Asian countries,
they kill a dog.
They kill a monkey through strangling it
and until it dies, then they chop it off
and eat it. Of course, dogs are haram to
eat because they're canines. They have
fangs and it's filthy animal. It's
totally prohibited to eat, but this is
how they kill some animals. This is
totally haram.
Buddha. And it is an animal that is
struck with a heavy object.
Which means that some slaughter houses
when they bring a big cattle,
a cow or a camel, and they strike it on
the head with a hammer, killing it. Then
they cut it off. This is haram to eat
because this was not slaughtered. was
killed with a blow to the head.
This is a an animal that fell from a
high place and died from a mountain
and it died because of the fall.
This is dead meat.
The animal that was gored by the horns
of another animal. So two animals are
fighting and one gores the other and it
it kills it. That's dead meat we cannot
consume. Or the animal that was attacked
by a wild animal, a lion, a tiger and
the likes and killed by it. We can't
come to it and eat it because this is a
dead meat.
All those that were mentioned, if we
came to the animal and it was still
breathing,
so an animal that fell from a mountain
and it's on its dying bed, trembling and
shaking but still alive, if we come and
say and slaughter it, we can eat it.
Likewise, if it was gored by an animal,
if it was um eaten by or attacked by a
tiger or a lion and left to be alive and
we slaughter it, we can
consume it and eat it because now it is
still halal.
Now,
all of this
meat which was mentioned haram He's in
normal situations. But
if I was in a dire state
in at times of necessity which
differentiates between life and death
situation.
I am stranded in the desert starving
about to die. There's no food. There's
no signs of help.
And the only thing I found was these
mentioned before animals that are haram
for us.
But if I don't consume it, I'm going to
die. Only then it becomes halal for me
to consume. Why? Because Allah has
mentioned all of this. When he mentioned
the haram things,
Allahel says, "But whoever is forced by
necessity, neither desiring it nor
transgressing its limits, then indeed
your Lord is forgiving and merciful."
So if I'm stranded in the desert and
there's nothing
for me to eat and to remain alive for
the coming days except a dead
a pig.
So I said, "Okay, out of necessity, I
have to eat.
It's permissible to eat what sustains my
life.
Not to go and prepare a delicious
pork chops and put some gravies and put
some this and that and and enjoy a a
feast. No, you just eat what sustains
your life and keeps you alive
out of necessity and that would be uh uh
permissible and allahel
knows best.
With this we conclude
our last chapter
in the subject of in our last and fourth
semester of Zad Academy.
This is not the end.
Actually, it's the beginning of the
journey for you and for me.
Now we've got our feet
on the track and the path of seeking
knowledge and this is only the tip of
the iceberg. You have learned nothing
compared what to what awaits you out
there. So this is the beginning of your
endeavor inshallah
to become
a student of knowledge to become a
person that would make a difference in
the community to become someone who gets
closer to allahel.
So don't think that you've gained
enough. This is just the tip of the
iceberg. You still have a long way ahead
of you, but at least now after finishing
four semesters with Zad Academy, you
know how to navigate
and you know
how to continue to seek knowledge and
where you would like to see yourself in
few years.
I pray to Allah subhana ta that he makes
my deeds and yours as well sincere for
his sake and that whatever we do would
benefit us in this life and definitely
in the hereafter and that would allahel
would increase our knowledge and
sincerity and accept from us whatever we
do.
Muhammad.
