Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah greet you. We return at the beginning of this episode to a message received by the program from listener Abu Husayn, Ali Husayn Ahmad al-Farawi, or al-Qarawi, from Yemen, al-Bayda' Governorate. We presented some of his questions in a previous episode, and in this meeting he still has some other questions. He asks Shaykh Salih and says: Is it permissible to eat hedgehog meat? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
[Al-Fatihah 1:1-2]. (peace and blessings be upon him) upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions. As for the porcupine, the scholars differed regarding the permissibility of eating it. Some of them hold that it is forbidden because it is considered loathsome. There is a hadith that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding it; there is a hadith that Ibn 'Umar was asked about it, and he said, "It is one of the loathsome things," or it was narrated as marfu' (traced to the Prophet) (peace and blessings be upon him)?
The presenter:
What Allah willed. What Allah willed. May Allah reward you with good and may Allah reward you, Shaykh Salih.
