Othan Than Pigs, Are All Other Animals Halal?
@Sonnadi Nadeem Bhai, The notion that “other than Pig all other are halal or grey areas” is a problematic notion because. The Quranic command of eating Tayyibaat (pure) is present. and according to ghamidi Sahab this is the base criterion of food selection. that’s is why there’s no explicit command present to Not consume urine and faeces. because human nature is well aware that this is repulsive, impure and inappropriate for use. the same goes for beastly natured animals they also have been considered impure and inappropriate for human consumptions by general human societies and people understand the gradual very slow, over the generations, negative effects of consuming beastly animal over the human soul. on the other hand, soft grazing animals, have been considered appropriate meat for human consumption by human nature. now comes those things which are in grey areas that seem to have shades of both beastly and grazing animal nature. Pig, according to biological make up of feet, it belongs to grazing animal species family. but according to it’s facial structures it has canines (characteristic of beastly, meat tearing nature. canines help tear the meat). and according to it’s eating habits it eats meat in a beastly fashion. So here what aspect should be given preference?? Here is where humans at general, were at a risk of falling into error, so here Allah gave his verdict that it must also be considered impure. An interesting fact : those christians who abolished their Shariah after Saint Paul. were agreed on the fact that shariah was for bani Israel and not those christians belonging to non-bani Israel. even then they didn’t started eating all animals. but the Pig was readily consumed in their diets! a point to ponder. There are many lectures of ghamidi Sahab on these principles
