Salam Saba,
can you give a verse which makes carnivores and omnivores haram explicitly?? when you say eating carnivores and omnivores is haram from the verse that says herbivores are halal, you are deducing. at the end of the day a deduction remains a deduction. Saying Herbivore are allowed, simply means herbivores are allowed, it does not mean other animals are haram.
btw, pig is a grazing animal, there are numerous species of grazing animals in the world, they are not haram. so , Allah said that grazing animals are halal with the exception of swine. 7th century Arabs were already consuming grazing animals, Allah is simply saying they can continue to do so but cannot eat swine. it is not like Arabs started consuming grazing animals after the Quran was revealed!!!!!
Salaam. Why would I do that? Can you give me an explicit verse that makes bestiality haram without deduction? No you cannot - you have to deduce. 16:72 gives us permissibly for mates of our own kind. By your argument why are you then deducing that bestiality is haram? Where is the explicit verse to make bestiality haram? Please stay consistent with your arguments.
Anyway, I asked a simple q. Why did Allah mention grazing animals for lawfulness in verse 5-1 if all animals were halal anyway?.
Also if the food of believers were allowed for the people of the book and their food for us, and you say we can eat cats and dogs etc, how can then these animals that you claim we can eat be halal for the people of the book when their scriptures forbid it?
Please provide answers for that if you can. Thanks Saba
