The Shaykh : We now take the new lesson: He said: "And from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ... Sunan Abi Dawud 3842Shadh (Al-Albani) . It was narrated by Ahmad and Abu Dawud, and al-Bukhari and Abu Hatim ruled it to be a mistake".
Now, this hadith says that if a mouse falls into fat, and it details: if it is solid, throw it away and what is around it, and if it is liquid, it is not to be approached; it is not to be approached. But this hadith, as al-Bukhari said, is a mistake, and the correct hadith is the first one: throw it away and what is around it only, whether it is solid or liquid. Then, it has been mentioned to us previously that a completely solid fat is one in which the mouse does not die; the mouse does not die in it. And the fat that is moderately solid, between liquid and solid, the mouse may die in it, but the correct ruling is that it is thrown away and what is around it, and then the fat is eaten. This is indicated by the fact that this hadith is a mistake, as it says "if a mouse falls into fat" and does not say "and it died." It is known that if it comes out alive, it is pure, because it is one of the creatures that roam around us and from which it is difficult to keep oneself clean. So, if it falls, for example, into water while alive and comes out, the water is pure and not impure. Likewise, if it falls into fat and comes out alive, it is pure and does not become impure. Also indicating its mistake is that it says:Sunan an-Nasa'i 4260 meaning it is forbidden. If we took its apparent meaning, it would include the small amount and the large amount, and the changed and the unchanged. Destroying a large amount that has not changed due to the mouse falling into it is a waste of wealth, and the Shari'ah does not come with such a thing. So, in reality, whenever you examine it, you find it to be a mistake, and the correct one is what al-Bukhari narrated in the previous hadith: if it falls and dies, throw it away and what is around it, and the rest is eaten and used.
If a mouse falls
إذا وقعت الفأرةWhen a mouse falls into clarified butter, if it is sold, throw the mouse and what is around it away, but if it is in a liquid state, do not go near it
إذا وقعت في السمن، فإن كان جامدا فألقوها وما حولها، وإن كان مائعا فلا تقربوهNow, this hadith says that if a mouse falls into fat, and it details: if it is solid, throw it away and what is around it, and if it is liquid, it is not to be approached; it is not to be approached.
