The ruling on eating crocodile and elephant
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I heard on the tape that Abu Layla has a prescription for strengthening the male organ, and it is made from crocodile. What did we hear from you regarding the ruling on that in the tape?
The Shaykh : The land is inhabited.
The questioner : Meaning it exists?
The Shaykh : It is there.
The questioner : Peace be upon you. Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. How are you? May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : He is answering the news.
The questioner : How is it? What is the answer, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : He is answering you.
The questioner : He is not answering. Is it possible, O Umm Layla? How are you? Praise be to Allah, what is your news? May Allah preserve you and bless you. And the elders in prison. I, may Allah preserve you, today your brother Ali was with him, he is well, praise be to Allah. What Allah willed, send our greetings to him, by Allah. May Allah keep you safe and bless you, if Allah wills, that will reach him. I once presented to our Shaykh a type called Sajnajur, yes, this is sold in some countries, including here in Jordan, the apothecaries use it, yes, they said it is used to strengthen the male organ, yes. So before I used this thing for sale, because I sell, you know, honey, yes, and this is useful with honey mixtures, so I consulted our Shaykh about it before I dealt with it, praise be to Allah. So his answer was that it is not permissible, because this is first, it is not from the water, meaning this is a land animal, and secondly, it appears to have a flat surface, it is not slaughtered with a slaughter, and it is not something that is eaten, meaning. If it is nine, originally it is not eaten. It is not a crocodile, this. But here now, the crocodile is not eaten, so this is his answer with our Shaykh. As for me, I say regarding the one who issued the fatwa, our Shaykh, about this which is called Sajnajur. Because now in the tape of the crocodile, honorable. They call it a crocodile chick. A crocodile chick. It appears it is not a crocodile chick, this. Yes. But here the Shaykh’s answer now, may Allah preserve him, he is now giving you the answer if it is permissible to eat the crocodile or not permissible. Regarding the peace be upon you. Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner : Is it permissible, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : No, it is not permissible.
The questioner : And the beautiful one.
The Shaykh : And what? The bear.
The questioner : Asil, Asil. The elephant, the elephant. The one who fears the mouse.
The Shaykh : I did not understand what this is?
The questioner : The elephant that has a long trunk and things. O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : The elephant. Yes. The elephant.
The questioner : The elephant, yes. Sit, eat it.
The Shaykh : No.
The Shaykh : The land is inhabited.
The questioner : Meaning it exists?
The Shaykh : It is there.
The questioner : Peace be upon you. Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. How are you? May Allah bless you.
