Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: You said (may Allah preserve you) that the scholars differed on the permissibility of eating fox meat, so what is the evidence of those who said it is permissible, even though the fox has a canine tooth with which it preys, like the cat and others?
Answer:
The default, they say, is that it is lawful, and there is no clear evidence for the prohibition of the fox. It is not one of the beasts of prey; it is not among the beasts of prey. But those who prohibit it say that it preys. If it is established that it preys and is among the beasts of prey. Yes.
