Slaughter of Horses and Eating Their Meat

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on slaughtering horses and eating their meat?

Answer:
It is permissible. There is a hadith of Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) in which she said:
We slaughtered a horse and ate it during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ).نحرنا فرسا على عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فأكلناه
Sahih Muslim 1942a
This is an acknowledgment from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Asma is the sister of Aisha, so she has a connection to the household of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
