The Ruling on Eating the Nabur Lizard
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, is the nabur lizard eaten? Because they say here that it is eaten.
The Shaykh:
I know nothing about it, but as far as I know, it is not mentioned among the permissible things, so it falls under the category of insects. What distinguishes it?
The questioner:
Are you a Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
Like the gecko, and like the mother of two, and like all of them, they are insects. So the one who says it is lawful needs evidence.
The presenter:
Yes, Shaykh.
