1790. Ibn 'Umar narrated: "The Prophet ﷺ was asked about eating mastigure and he said: 'I do not eat it, and I do not prohibit eating it.'" (Sahih)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from 'Umar, Abū Sa'eed, Ibn 'Abbās, Thābit bin Wadī'ah, Jābir, and 'Abdur-Rahmān bin Ḥasanah.
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih.
The people of knowledge have differed over eating mastigure. Some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others permitted it, while others considered it disliked. It has been related that Ibn 'Abbās said: "Mastigure was eaten on the dining spread of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ only avoided it because it was distasteful to him."

Commentary
An-Nawawī said: "There is a consensus among the Muslims that the mastigure is lawful and it is not disliked, except for what has been mentioned from the followers of Abū Ḥanīfah about it being disliked, and what Al-Qāḏī 'Iyāḏ mentioned from some people that they said it is unlawful. But I do not
think this is correct from any one of them, and if it were correct, then it is rejected due to the text and the consensus that occurred before it.”.
