The Ruling on the Blood Remaining in Meat and Eating the Liver and Spleen

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is it permissible to eat the thick meat? And is the blood of the slaughtered animal sought out?

The Shaykh:
Yes, it is permissible to eat the meat while it is raw, and the blood in it is excused. The blood that is within the meat of a properly slaughtered animal is lawful and excused. The only forbidden blood is the flowing blood, or flowing blood. Flowing blood is that which comes out of the windpipe of the slaughtered animal at the time of slaughter; this is the flowing blood. As for what remains in its meat, that is lawful and excused. Is it permissible to eat the meat while it is in it? Is it permissible to cook the meat while it is in it? Yes. Ha. Ha? Ha.
Yes, indeed, it is eaten while raw, there is no objection. And the meat is eaten while raw, there is no objection. Yes, because the blood in the liver and the blood in the spleen is more than the blood in the meat. The blood in the meat is slight, whereas what is in the liver is much, and likewise what is in the spleen is much. Yes, this is the difference.

The questioner:
Or it must be taken from a dead animal.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
And it is alive, and it is alive.

The Shaykh:
No, the liver of an animal taken while it is alive is not permissible to eat, whether it is the liver and spleen or otherwise, or the hump or the sheep’s udder; none of it is permissible to eat while it is alive.
