It is established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ate the *ihtiz* from a roasted side; does this contradict the hadith of Anas that he did not eat *musmutat*?

The questioner : It is established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ate the *ihtiz* from the side, and that he ate a roasted leg. He ate it at the home of Umm Salimah. That is, it is established in many hadiths that he used to eat roasted meat from the side, starting with the roasted side. In the chapter on... wudu from what touched fire, I say this contradicts the hadith of Anas that he did not eat *musmutat*...?

The Shaykh : The *musmutat* sheep is different from what was mentioned. One may roast meat without the skin, but if the entire sheep is roasted on the spit or over the fire with its skin on, it acquires a different taste. This is something observed by people; that is, if it is roasted with its skin on, it has a much stronger taste. Yes.
