Bukhari

Hadith Commentary: There is consensus among all scholars regarding the permissibility of eating chicken. This refers to Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, who was a freed slave of the Banu Tay. He met Anas ibn Malik radi Allahu anhu, and from him, ‘Ikrimah and al-Awza‘i and others have narrated.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
From this hadith, it is understood that the meat of chicken is lawful (halal) and its consumption is permissible. It is an excellent, delicious, and nutritious meat. However, the broiler chicken that is common among us nowadays neither has taste nor strength; this poor creature cannot even bear its own weight, so how can it provide strength to others?

(2)
In any case, chicken is halal, and those who, due to asceticism and piety, consider it disliked (makruh), their dislike holds no weight.
Wallahu al-musta‘an.

Explanation:
1:
From this hadith, it is understood that it is permissible to go to a friend's house at the time of his meal,
and also that the one who is eating should include the arriving guest in the meal with him,
even if the amount of food is small,
because eating together in a group is a cause for the descent of blessings,
and it is also understood from this that the meat of chicken is lawful (halal).
