Eating Monkeys
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q2: Are monkeys edible, and why?
A2 : It is not permissible to eat a monkey. The basis for this is what is established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the prohibition of every predator with fangs and every bird of prey with talons. The monkey is among those with fangs. Among the evidence is what was narrated by Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:Mishkat al-Masabih 4105 It was narrated by the group except al-Bukhari and al-Tirmidhi .
