Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Donkeys are of two types: domestic and wild.
The majority of scholars have agreed on the prohibition of eating domestic donkeys, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Indeed, Allah and His Messenger forbid you from the flesh of domestic donkeys, for it is defilement from the work of Satan," and his (peace be upon him) saying: "Overturn the pots, and do not eat anything from the flesh of donkeys." As for wild donkeys, their meat is permissible to eat.
