Question:
The questioner says: I read in some books of Islamic jurisprudence that eating the hyena is lawful, and the question is: what is the wisdom behind its permissibility, given that it is a predator and has fangs?
Answer:
This is in the Sunnah, not just in the books of Islamic jurisprudence. There is an authentic hadith in the Sunnah that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the eating of the hyena, and it is among the good things. So it is an exception to the rule regarding all animals with fangs; it is an exception to the rule regarding all animals with fangs, and its eating is made lawful by the authentic Sunnah.
