Commentary
Any cut off limb of an animal is unlawful for eating, because after amputation, the limb becomes lifeless and resembles a corpse. Before the advent of Islam, Arabs used to cut off the limbs of animals for eating, like humps of the camels and rump of rams etc., and used some parts as medicines to heal wounds. In this narration, the Prophet ﷺ prohibited such a practice.
