The ruling on the principle of commanding the killing of an animal and prohibiting it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is this principle consistent? And is it correct that whatever animal the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded to be killed, or prohibited from being killed, is forbidden?
Answer:
Yes, this is a correct criterion that they have mentioned. What the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded to be killed, such as the five harmful creatures, is forbidden. And what he prohibited from being killed, such as the ant and the bee, and what he (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited from being killed, such as the ant, the bee, the hoopoe, the woodpecker, and the frog, is also forbidden. Because if it were lawful, he would not have prohibited its killing.
