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?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

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.

The wisdom behind the prohibition of killing frogs is that their croaking is a form of glorification (tasbih).
