Q&A⚖️ Fiqh & Law

It is forbidden to consume animals that are considered monstrosities, including the pig, monkey, elephant, and bear. The question is: What is meant by monstrosities (masookh)?

Answer

In the name of Allah, be informed, my son, that Allah transformed some groups from previous nations into these animals. These animals existed before some humans were transformed into their forms. The monstrosities, as known, did not survive long and died. These animals resemble the transformed beings and are referred to as monstrosities, although this expression is used loosely. Allah is the Guide and the Knower.
