Clarifying the Meaning of Wild Donkeys and the Ruling on Eating Them

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks, Shaykh, what is meant by domestic donkeys, and is it permissible to eat them?

Answer:
Domestic donkeys are different from wild donkeys, which are called al-Wadihi. Wild donkeys are lawful to eat because they are game. As for domestic donkeys, they are forbidden. Allah the Exalted has forbidden them because their meat is impure, so Allah the Glorious and Exalted has forbidden them, and it is not permissible to eat domestic donkeys. Yes.
