The ruling on eating the tail of a cut-off monitor lizard
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Abdullah said: What is the ruling on what is taken from it, knowing that he did not enjoy hunting it and did not weigh it, knowing that this issue occurs frequently in the season of this day?
Answer:
It is not permissible to eat the tail of a monitor lizard if he cut it off alone and did not catch the lizard. It is not permissible to eat it. It falls under the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): “What is cut from a beast while it is alive is carrion.” So as long as he did not catch the main body, what is cut from it is not eaten. It is forbidden. Yes.
