Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the chapter of foods one in which disagreement among jurists is common?
Answer:
There is disagreement in it, as in other chapters, regarding details on which they differed, as you have heard the disagreement between the Maliki school and the majority. The Malikis are lenient regarding foods; they eat animals, even insects, and nothing is forbidden in their view. They rely on the general permissibility and on the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-An'am 6:145] in what [Al-An'am 6:145]. They used this verse as evidence that everything not mentioned in it is lawful. However, the answer is that this verse was revealed at the beginning of the matter. It was revealed at the beginning, and then things were forbidden afterwards that are included in it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade things that are included in it.

أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ مُحَرَّمًا عَلَىٰ طَاعِمٍ يَطْعَمُهُ إِلَّا أَن يَكُونَ مَيْتَةً أَوْ دَمًا مَّسْفُوحًا أَوْ لَحْمَ خِنزِيرٍ فَإِنَّهُ رِجْسٌ أَوْ فِسْقًا أُهِلَّ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ بِهِ
