Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks, Shaykh, about the ruling on eating the meat of horses and ostriches?
Answer:
It is lawful. The horse is lawful. Asma' (may Allah be pleased with her), the daughter of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, said: "We slaughtered a horse in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and we ate it." The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) approved them for doing so. So the horse is lawful. And the second item, the horse and the ostrich. And likewise the ostrich, because it is among the birds, so it falls under what is permissible. Yes.

May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh
