Identifying Khabeeth Animals
Oops maybe I am. But am I wrong to say this principle is derived from ahadith? If it were not for ahadith then lions don’t really induce the ‘yuck’ reflex in many people. The reason lions aren’t eaten doesn’t seem to be because they are deemed gross. Rather their farming logistics are unfavourable both in the modern and ancient world. In the modern world you have to feed them so much in the ancient world you can’t really hunt a lion that easily.
Sure 5:1 says bahimtul anaam are halal but that doesn’t mean all predators are now haraam
The Asians(Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Thai Etc.) eat all kind of insects, Cockroaches, Bats, Rats, Snakes, Frogs, Cats, Dogs etc. They don’t find it disgusting in the least bit. Do you see anything wrong with that?
This doesn’t say all khabaith are haraam. This ayah uses the word إنما which means only. This ayah itself says Allah has only made these things haraam
Tayyibaat are Halal which means Khabees are Haram. ‘Innama’ is used as Hasar as explained by Ghamidi Sahab to you personally
