Question:
The Shaykh’s case (may Allah protect him) is that no one rules on what is in the grave. Knowing that he did not benefit from its hunting and did not increase it, knowing that this issue has an impact during the season of this place,
Answer:
It is not permissible. It is not permissible to eat the tail of a monitor lizard if he cut it off alone and did not catch the lizard; it is not permissible to eat it. It falls under the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): “What is cut from a beast while it is alive is carrion.” As long as he did not catch the original animal, what is cut from it is not eaten; it is forbidden. Yes.
