The Ruling on Eating Hyena Meat

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Perhaps we should bring up this question that came from one of the brothers. He says: What is the ruling on eating the meat of the hyena, which is called al-Ja'ir in the colloquial dialect?

Answer:
The hyena. There is no harm in it; it is pure and lawful. The hyena is game, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said. Yes, whatever it hunts is lawful.
