Arabic text

4327 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو وَهُوَ ابْنُ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: «نَهَى وَذَكَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ، عَنْ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ، وَأَذِنَ فِي الْخَيْلِ»

Commentary

According to the dominant majority of the people of knowledge, the horse is a lawful or Halâl animal, because the narrations concerning its lawfulness are evidently explicit; and are authentic of superior rank. Among the various imâms, only Imâm Abû Hanifah ﷺ is the proponent of its unlawfulness, but many of his followers did not agree with him on this issue.
