The Ruling on Eating the Frog and the Toad
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on eating the frog, and what is the ruling on eating the toad?
Answer:
The toad is forbidden. The principle is that anything the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded to be killed is not lawful, and anything he forbade to be killed is not lawful. This is the principle. He forbade eating the toad, killing the toad, the hoopoe, and the kite; therefore, eating these is not lawful because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade killing them. And whatever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded to be killed is also forbidden. Yes.
