Understanding Tayyibat, Khabaees And Darindagi In The Context Of Dietary Matters
As far as Dietary prohibitions are concerned, it works on the principle of Taiyyabaat and Khabaais ( Quran 7:157 and 2:172-173 ). Khabaais : i ) Dietary objects ( including animals ) from which our nature feels extreme repulsion . ii ) For animals specifically , Quran has cleared Taiyyabaat with word ‘ Bahimatul-Anam ’ ( Quran 5:1, 22:34 and 22:28 ), meaning the cattle specie, which makes the differentiation more clear i.e. it is the ‘Beastly (Darindagi)‘ and ‘Non-Beastly‘ nature which are the most distinguishing factors. Beastly Nature refers to the beastly way of eating by an animal ( cheer phar kai khana ) and it applies equally to sea animals e.g. shark and to the land animals e.g. lion . Then there are animals in between this category which could be predatory but not actually beastly in nature, which could put them in the grey area. There is also a category which is neither predatory nor beastly in nature like horse, donkey etc. but also falls in the same grey area. This is the Mushtabihaat category . __ Please also refer to the video below from 13:51 to 16:04 https://youtu.be/0n9_TPUzU64?si=sV79RJmaNOitKQhj&t=831
