3790. It was narrated from Khālid bin Al-Walid that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ forbade eating the meat of horses, mules and donkeys. Ḥaiwah (one of the narrators) added – “and every predator that has fangs.” (Da’if)
Abū Dāwūd said: This is the view of Mālik.
Abū Dāwūd said: There is nothing wrong with horse meat, and this is not acted upon.
Abū Dāwūd said: This is abrogated. A number of the Companions of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ ate horse meat, including Ibn Az-Zubair, Faḍālah bin ‘Ubaid, Anas bin Mālik, Asmā’ bint Abī Bakr, Suwaid bin Ghafalah and ‘Alqamah, and the Quraish used to slaughter them (horses for meat) at the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.
