Is Donkey’s Milk Permissible? Detailed Islamic Ruling
❖ Question
Is donkey’s milk ḥalāl or ḥarām?
❖ Answer
Al-ḥamdu lillāh, waṣ-ṣalātu was-salāmu ʿalā Rasūlillāh, Ammā Baʿd!
Donkey’s milk is ḥarām, just as the meat of domesticated donkeys is ḥarām. Since the female donkey belongs to the same category as domesticated donkeys, its milk is also deemed ḥarām.
However, ḥumur waḥshī (wild donkeys) are ḥalāl. Their meat and usage are permissible, as they are distinct from domesticated donkeys. The aḥādīth and statements of the jurists clearly differentiate between the two.
