Does the noble verse, "And from the cattle and sheep, We forbade them their fat," prohibit the fat of a lamb's tail?
The mentioned verse does not indicate, according to the majority of scholars, that the fat of a sheep's tail (Al-Ilya) was forbidden to the Jews, because it is mixed with bone. It has been narrated from Al-Suddi and Ibn Jurayj that it refers to the fat of the flank and the tail, because both are attached to bone.
