The Ruling on Eating Camel Hair and the Hedgehog

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

The Shaykh:
Camel hair is from the people of the letter Ba.

The questioner:
May Allah do you good. He says: What is the ruling on eating camel hair, and likewise the hedgehog?

The Shaykh:
As for the camel hair, it is lawful because it is a small creature that eats from herbs, so it is lawful. As for the hedgehog, which is a large porcupine, this is forbidden because it was mentioned in a hadith that it is among the abominable things.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
