What is the Quranic evidence for the prohibition of eating frogs, dogs, and all other forbidden meats and carrion, alongside the allowance of eating all marine animals, given that chickens may eat carrion?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Allah has permitted good things and forbidden evil things. So, if a chicken eats impurities, it becomes a "Jallalah," which is forbidden to eat, as is its milk. As for the frog, there is a prohibition against killing it, and this necessarily implies the prohibition of eating it. The wisdom behind the prohibition of killing frogs is that their croaking is a form of glorification (tasbih).
