Hadith 2817
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ النَّحْوِيِّ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ :فَكُلُوا مِمَّا ذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ ، وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا مِمَّا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَنُسِخَ وَاسْتَثْنَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ : وَطَعَامُ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ حِلٌّ لَكُمْ وَطَعَامُكُمْ حِلٌّ لَهُمْ .
Narrated Ibn Abbas: The verse: "So eat of (meats) on which Allah's name hath been pronounced" and the verse: "Eat not of (meats) on which Allah's name hath not been pronounced" were abrogated, meaning an exception was made therein by the verse: "The food of the people of the Book is lawful unto you and yours is lawful unto them. "
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊
In these verses, by “food and things” is specifically meant animals that have been lawfully slaughtered (halal dhabh).
➋
Any animal that dies of itself, or over which the name (of Allah) is deliberately not mentioned at the time of slaughter, is considered carrion (maytah) and is unlawful (haram).
(The exception of fish and locusts is well-known and established.)
➌
When the People of the Book (Ahl al-Kitab) slaughter in accordance with their prescribed method, their slaughtered animal is lawful (halal).
This is in contrast to the Magians (Majusis), Hindus, and others—unless it becomes clear that the People of the Book have slaughtered in the name of other than Allah, or have not performed slaughter at all.
For example, nowadays in Europe, instead of slaughtering, animals are killed by mechanical stunning.
This is an entirely un-Islamic method, by which the animal is considered as carrion (maytah), and its consumption is not permissible.
Note:
This narration is weak (da‘if).
And according to some, the mention of only the Jews in it is not correct; rather, it was the polytheists (mushrikun) who raised this objection, and the aforementioned answer was revealed.
