Q
What are the reasons behind the prohibition of consuming donkey meat in Islam?
A
We where afflicted with severe hunger on the day of Khaibar. While the cooking pots were boiling
and some of the food was well-cooked, the announcer of the Prophet (ﷺ) came to say, “Do not eat
anything the donkey-meat and upset the cooking pots.” We then thought that the Prophet (ﷺ) had
prohibited such food because the Khumus had not been taken out of it. Some others said, “He
prohibited the meat of donkeys from the point of view of principle, because donkeys used to eat dirty
things.”
