Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: There are people in our country, which is Yemen, who eat the carrion of the hyena and say that they eat it for treatment. So, if a person has pain in his neck, he eats from its neck, and so on. What is the ruling on their action?
Answer:
It is not permissible to eat carrion,[Al-Ma'idah 5:3] whether from a hyena or anything else, and it is not permissible to treat with parts of a dead animal, because it is forbidden. It is not permissible to seek treatment with what is forbidden; it is not permissible to seek treatment with what is forbidden. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Abi Dawud 3874Da'if (Al-Albani). From Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) in al-Bukhari: Bulugh al-Maram 10:50 So it is not permissible to seek treatment with anything from a dead animal, whether a hyena or not. Yes.
