Islamic Views On Eating Snakes, Cats And Dogs.

Salaam Alaikum Waramotulai Wabarakatuh

Few days ago I witnessed a topic on Frontpage of a man who was so happy and displayed roasted cat head with Eba so graciously about to eat and when he finished devouring it, This brings about this Topic to every muslim in case you don't know the rulings about eating them.


It is not permissible to eat dogs or cat, or to give them to people who will eat them, because it is haraam to eat them or to help anyone else to eat them. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Every animal that has fangs is haraam.” (Reported by Muslim from the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah, may Allaah be pleased with him). According to a hadeeth narrated by Abu Tha’labah al-Khashani (may Allaah be pleased with him), “the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade the eating of every carnivorous animal that has fangs.” (Agreed upon). Dogs and Cats are carnivores that have fangs. You have to repent to Allaah if you have tried eating them unknowingly and Allaah is the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

And about snakes

The person who grills a snake then eats it has obeyed the Shaytaan. There is something in it which is inherently devilish and something which is connected to the shaytaateen (devils); it is like riding beast for them or something like that. Whoever mixes a snakes flesh with his/ her flesh [by eating it] should be avoided because of that.

May Almighty Allah Forgive US Our Shortcomings and grant our wishes in the ways of the Ummah.
