Eating rabbit is permissible according to the majority of scholars, due to what was narrated by Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that he hunted a rabbit and the Prophet (peace be upon him) accepted eating it. Furthermore, it is considered a wholesome animal, does not possess fangs with which it preys, and no text has been revealed to prohibit it.
