Can you eat a frog? A Golden Principle of Fiqh explained by Sh.Fawzaan


A Benefit from a Fatwaa of Shaikh Saalih  al-Fawzaan

Shaikh Saalih bin Fawzaan (hafidhahullaah) was asked  regarding the ruling of eating amphibians and frogs. Shaikh replied  saying that eating frogs is  prohibited and he also mentioned a golden principle which states that;

“Any living thing which the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alaihi  wasallam) commanded to kill is prohibited to eat. And the same way, any living  thing which the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam) prohibited to kill is also prohibited to eat.”

And the frog is an example of things which the Prophet  (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam) prohibited to kill. Thus eating it is also prohibited.
