Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
According to these narrations, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam declared domestic donkeys to be unlawful (haram) on the occasion of the conquest of Khaybar. In fact, some narrations indicate that he made a formal announcement regarding this, as related by Abu Tha'labah radi Allahu anhu, who states that we fought the battle of Khaybar alongside the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
The people were afflicted with severe hunger, so they began to slaughter and cook domestic donkeys.
The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ordered Abdur Rahman ibn Awf radi Allahu anhu to make this announcement:
Beware! The meat of domestic donkeys is not lawful (halal).
