The Eighteenth Deviation from the Sunnah: The Hadith Permitting the Eating of Horse Meat
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The Eighteenth Deviation from the Sunnah: The hadith permitting the eating of horse meat. They forbid the eating of horse meat just as they forbid the eating of donkey meat, even though it is stated in "Sahih al-Bukhari" that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted the eating of horse meat. What is their argument? They say: [An-Nahl 16:8]; meaning, it is only for riding. They do not take into account the addition in the hadith that he permitted the eating of horse meat.
And [He created] the horses, mules and donkeys for you to ride
وَالْخَيْلَ وَالْبِغَالَ وَالْحَمِيرَ لِتَرْكَبُوهَا
