Is it permissible to sell horse meat mixed with lamb in an Islamic butcher shop?
It is permissible to sell and eat horse meat according to the majority of scholars, based on Jabir's narration in the Sahihayn: "On the day of Khaybar, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade the meat of domesticated donkeys, and permitted the meat of horses." It is permissible to sell horse meat separately or with other permissible meats in the same place. However, it is not permissible to mix them and sell them together in such a way that the poor quality is confused with the good quality, as this is a form of deception that is forbidden.
