What is the ruling on eating horse meat and hyena meat?
Answer: Horse meat is lawful; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted it. Likewise, hyena meat is lawful based on the explicit text from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Therefore, horses and hyenas are lawful for us, unlike wolves, lions, tigers, and dogs, which are forbidden. Likewise, all carnivorous beasts of prey are forbidden, except for the hyena, which is excluded by explicit text. And horses are lawful for us based on the explicit text from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), as mentioned by Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) , who said:Sahih Muslim 1941a, and Asma bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her) said: It is agreed upon that it is authentic.
