The Ruling on Eating Horse Meat

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He said: My brother, the Shaykh, is it permissible to eat horse meat?

Answer:
Yes, it is permissible according to the correct view. It is permissible to eat horse meat, based on the statement of Asma (may Allah be pleased with her)
We slaughtered a horse and ate it during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ).نحرنا برص على عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فأكلناه
Sahih Muslim 1942a
. Horse meat is permissible because it is among the pure things. Yes. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
