Is it permissible to eat kangaroo meat?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The basic principle regarding eating the meat of a permissible animal is that it is allowed unless there is evidence prohibiting its consumption. The kangaroo is not a beast of prey and does not hunt with its fangs; rather, it eats herbs. Therefore, there is no harm in eating its meat.
