Commentary
So far as the flesh of domestic donkeys is concerned, it is absolutely unlawful, whether or not they eat filth, although riding them is permitted. Its sweat, etc., is pure. But the filth-eating animal, whichever it might be, if it eats filth to such an extent that its traces are sensed in its flesh, for instance, if it stinks or tastes bad, or its color changes, then its eating is unlawful. And riding such animals is also unlawful.
