Is it permissible to eat peacock meat if it is slaughtered according to Islamic law?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is permissible to eat peacock meat because the basic principle regarding it is permissibility, in accordance with His — the Almighty's — saying: "He it is Who created for you all that is on earth." Also, it is not included in what is forbidden in the Hadith: "The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade all predatory animals with fangs and all birds with talons," and it does not cause harm.
