Q: What is the ruling on smoking and eating hyena ?

And because spending
in the situation described is considered a waste of money, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited the waste of money. Indeed, al-Bukhari and Muslim (may Allah have mercy on them both) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Bulugh al-Maram 16:20 The dislike here is a dislike of prohibition. As for eating hyena, it is lawful; as narrated by Imam Ahmad and the authors of the Sunan from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Abd Allah ibn 'Umarah , who said: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 851Sahih (Darussalam) . And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
