The Ruling on Eating Horse Meat
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He also asks about eating horse meat, Honorable Shaykh?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it. Horses are lawful, because Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "We slaughtered a horse in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and we ate it." This was in al-Madinah. Asma is the sister of Aisha and a relative of the house of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The fact that he approved of their eating it indicates that it is among the good things and that it is permissible. Yes.
