The Ruling on Eating Elephant Meat and the Meat of the Wild Camel

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Muhammad Sulayman says: Honorable Shaykh Salih, may Allah preserve you, I ask you about the ruling on eating elephant meat, since, as you know, the elephant is a herbivore, noting that it has a tusk, and also about the wild camel, which is also a herbivore.

Answer:
The wild camel is halal, but the elephant is not eaten because it is among the things considered abhorrent. Yes.
