The questioner:
Shaykh Ahmad, may Allah reward you, is there anything more specific than this?
The Shaykh:
Yes, that is correct. It is permissible to eat horse meat. It is indeed permissible to eat horse meat, based on the hadith of Asma (may Allah be pleased with her), who said:Sahih Muslim 1942a. This was during the time of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and he did not disapprove of it. This is a confirmation by the Messenger, and Asma is Asma bint Abi Bakr al-Siddiq, the sister of Aisha. Their connection to the household of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) indicates that horse meat is permissible and among the good things. Yes.

The Shaykh:
Yes. Yes, it is not prohibited like camels. Yes.
