The ruling on cooking locusts alive in fire
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on cooking locusts alive in fire? Because the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibition against torturing with fire has caused confusion for us.
Answer:
This is an exception based on the hadith of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and because it is not possible to catch them except by that means, except by fire. You slaughter every locust you catch and slaughter it. It is not possible to do this with many of them. Yes.
