3192. It was narrated that Abu Ishāq Shaibānī said: "I asked 'Abdullāh bin Abu Awfa about the flesh of domesticated donkeys and he said: 'We were starving on the Day of Khaibar, when we were with the Prophet ﷺ. The people had gotten some donkeys as spoils of war on the way out from Al-Madinah, so we
slaughtered them and our cooking pots were boiling when the caller of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ cried out, telling us to overturn our pots and not to eat anything of the flesh of donkeys. So we overturned them.' I said to 'Abdullāh bin Abu Awfa: 'Was it made unlawful?' He said: 'We think that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ forbade it altogether because it eats excrement.'" (Sahih)

Commentary
The meat of the domestic donkey is forbidden.
A reason for the prohibition in Khaibar could be the one that is stated in the Hadith, but the following Hadith proves that the prohibition was not temporary.
If forbidden meat is cooked mistakenly it should be destroyed after knowing the fact.
