Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I live in a village. Is this questioner from outside this country? He says: I live in a village. We used to eat the fat of the cattle and sheep found inside the belly of the animal, until a scholar came to us and explained to us the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-An'am 6:146] to the end of the verse. He then told us that the fat of cattle and sheep is forbidden for you by the text of the Qur'an.
Answer:
I seek refuge in Allah. This is an ignorant person; he is not a scholar. It is not forbidden for us. This was a punishment imposed on the Jews; it was lawful for them, but it was forbidden to them as a punishment, to be strict with them. Are we like the Jews? This is not a good statement. Yes.

And to those who are Jews We prohibited every animal of uncloven hoof; and of the cattle and the sheep We prohibited to them their fat, except what adheres to their backs
وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ هَادُوا حَرَّمْنَا كُلَّ ذِي ظُفُرٍ وَمِنَ الْبَقَرِ وَالْغَنَمِ حَرَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ شُحُومَهُمَا إِلَّا مَا حَمَلَتْ ظُهُورُهُمَاAnswer:
