Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. He says: I have seen people eating hyena meat, that is, the jackal. Is eating it forbidden or lawful? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The correct view is that the hyena is lawful. I want to mention the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding this, and that it is lawful.
