Islamic Duties / On the consumption of birds
« on: June 01, 2013, 12:31:29 AM »
Dear Joseph Islam,
I refer to the following article, specifically the section on the consumption of Birds.
http://quransmessage.com/articles/food%20restrictions%20FM3.htm
I understand that there are no restrictions in the Quran on the eating of birds, and in fact the Quran also mentions fowl as a food in paradise.
You have also stated that the rule on general animal consumption, i.e. carnivorous and omnivorous animals may not be consumed, may be applied to birds.
However articles on the internet discussing the diet of birds seem to suggest that fowl such as chicken are in fact omnivorous. See random google link below:
http://www.westonaprice.org/farm-a-ranch/chickens-are-omnivores-its-no-dilemma
On this basis do you feel that fowl may not be eaten during our life on earth?
Or, based on the Quranic assertion that fowl is consumed in paradise, do you feel that omnivorous birds are allowable for consumption?
Your comments are greatly appreciated.
