Is it permissible to eat the head of a camel, and is it buried and not sold, and what is the reason for that?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Eating the head meat of a camel is permissible, due to the generality of Allah's Almighty saying: "And the grazing livestock He has created for you; in them is warmth and [various other] benefits, and from them you eat." The statement that it should be buried and not sold is null and void in its entirety and has not been reported from the people of knowledge.
