Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), in the year of the Conquest, when he was in Makkah, say: "Indeed, Allah and His Messenger have forbidden selling alcohol, dead animals, swine, and idols." It was said: "O Messenger of Allah, what about the fat of dead animals that is used for coating boats and daubing hides, and people use it for lighting purposes?" He said: "No, it is forbidden." Then, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "May Allah destroy the Jews. Indeed, Allah had forbidden fat to them, but they melted it and then sold it and consumed its price."

Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh (may Allah be pleased with him) heard the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say in the year of the Conquest, while he was in Makkah: Allah and His Messenger have forbidden the sale of wine, dead animals, pork, and idols. It was said: O Messenger of Allah, is it permissible to sell the fat of dead animals? It is used to coat ships and daub hides, and people light their lamps with it. He said: No, selling it is forbidden. Then, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: May Allah destroy the Jews and curse them. When Allah forbade them the fat of animals, they melted it and then sold its fat and consumed its price.
Jābir (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) asked his family for a dip (to eat with bread) and they replied: "We have nothing but vinegar." So he told them to bring it and began to eat, saying: "What an excellent dip vinegar is! What an excellent dip vinegar is!"
Narrated by Muslim
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) asked his family to bring him some food to eat it with bread. They replied that they had nothing but vinegar. So he asked them to bring it and started eating while praising vinegar and saying: "What an excellent dip vinegar is! What an excellent dip vinegar is!" This is a praise of vinegar. Although it is a drink, it is referred to as food. It is acceptable in Arabic to refer to anything that has a taste to be savored as food, as in the Qur'anic verse: {"Indeed, Allah will be testing you with a river. So whoever drinks from it is not of me, and whoever does not taste it is indeed of me.} [Sūrat al-Baqarah: 249]
‘Adiyy ibn Hātim (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I said: "O Messenger of Allah, I send my trained dogs, mention Allah's name, and they catch the game for me." So he said: "When you let loose your trained dog (after a game) and you mention the name of Allah, then eat what it catches for you." Then I said: "Even if they (the dogs) kill it (the game)?" He said: "Even if they kill it, so long as no other dog, which is not one of them, participates with them." I said: "What if I throw a blunt edged spear at the game and I hit it?" He said: "If you strike it and it pierces it, then eat from it; but if it strikes the game with the blunt end, then do not eat it." The Hadīth narrated by Ash-Sha‘bi from ‘Adiyy is similar but it mentions: "...except if the dog eats from it, then do not eat it, for I am worried that the dog caught it for itself. If other dogs mix with yours, then do not eat from it; because you only mentioned Allah's name when sending your dog, not the other dogs." It also mentions: "If you send your trained dog, then mention Allah's name. If he catches it (the game) alive, then slaughter it, but if it is killed and the dog does not eat from it, then eat from it; because when the dog catches it, it is similar to slaughtering." It also mentions: "Mention the name of Allah when you shoot your arrow." It also mentions: "If the game disappeared a day or two (two or three in another narration), and you found the trace of your arrow only, then eat from it as you like. But if you found it drowned in water, do not eat from it; because you do not know if it died from the water or your arrow.”
Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim
‘Adiyy ibn Hātim asked the Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) about hunting with his trained dogs. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) told him to eat whatever the dogs catch as long as he mentions Allah's name on letting them loose after the game, and as long as no other dog hunts with them. If he finds another dog, then he should not eat from it because he only mentioned the name of Allah on sending his dog, not someone else's dog. Moreover, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed him that if he threw his spear and it pierced the animal and spilled its blood, then he could eat from it so long as he mentioned Allah's name. If the spear, however, stroke the animal with its blunt side, and it died, then he should not eat from it. In this case, the animal died from being hit, like an animal that dies from falling down or from being hit by horns. Also, if one sends his trained dog and the game is found alive, without being killed by the dogs, then it is necessary to slaughter it at that moment. Eating it is permissible even if other dogs are found with it. He also asked him about hunting with an arrow if he mentions Allah's name, and the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed him that it is permissible for him to eat the game that he hits by his arrow. If he finds it a day or two later with nothing but the trace of his own arrow, then it will be permissible for him to eat from it. However, if he finds it drowned in water, then he should not eat from it because he does not know whether it died from drowning or from his arrow.
Abu Wāqid al-Laithi (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) came to Madīnah and they were in the habit of cutting the humps off the camels and cutting the buttocks from the sheep. He said: "Whatever is cut from an animal while it is alive, then it is dead flesh."
Narrated by At-Termedhy - Narrated by Abu Daoud - Narrated by Ahmad - Ad-Daarimi
This Hadīth relates that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) came to Madīnah and found its people in the habit of cutting off the camels' humps and sheep's buttocks, which they would eat and utilize. So, he forbade them from doing this and clarified the rule in this regard; that if anything is cut off a living animal, like a camel's hump or sheep's buttocks, by itself or someone, it will be treated like a dead animal of the same kind; if it is deemed pure, this piece will be regarded as such, and vice versa. The hand of a human being is pure, while the buttocks of sheep is impure. Excluded are the hair, wool, feather, and skin.
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about making vinegar out of an alcoholic drink. He said: 'No.'
Narrated by Muslim
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the ruling on alcohols that were processed until transferred into vinegar, that incident occurred after the prohibition of alcoholic drinks, and he forbade that. Accordingly, if an alcoholic drink is transformed into vinegar in any way or form, it will continue to be prohibited and this will not change its ruling. This covers all possible ways of transforming wine into vinegar such as placing something therein like bread, onion, stone, yeast; moving it from the shade to the sun or vice-versa; or mixing it with another substance. Yet, if it turned into vinegar all by itself without human interference, it would become pure and permissible.
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If anyone kills a gecko with the first strike will have such-and-such reward; and anyone kills it with the second strike will have such-and-such reward, lesser than the first; and anyone kills it with the third strike will have such-and-such reward, lesser than the second.” Another narration reads: “Anyone kills a gecko with the first strike will have one hundred good deeds recorded for him; and with the second strike lesser than that, and with the third strike lesser than that.”
Narrated by Muslim
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) encourages us to kill geckos. He informs us that anyone kills it with the first blow will have one hundred good deeds written for him; and anyone kills it with the second blow will have less than that (written for him); and whoever kills it with the third blow will have less than that (written for him). The wisdom behind killing geckos is that it was blowing into the fire in which Ibrahīm (peace be upon him) was thrown, and it is harmful and poisonous.
Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade (eating the flesh of) all carnivorous animals that have fangs and all birds that have talons.
Narrated by Muslim
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade eating any predatory animal that hunts with its fangs and any bird that cuts and holds with its claws.
Ibn Abi ‘Ammār reported: I said to Jābir: "Are hyenas a type of game (animal)?" Jābir replied: ‘Yes.’ I asked: "Did the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say that?" He replied: 'Yes.'
Narrated by Ibn Majah - Narrated by At-Termedhy - An-Nasaa’i - Narrated by Abu Daoud - Narrated by Ahmad - Ad-Daarimi
The Tābi‘i Ibn Abi ‘Ammār (may Allah have mercy upon him) asked Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh (may Allah be pleased with him) whether hyenas may be hunted and eaten. Jābir told him that is permissible. Ibn Abi ‘Ammār wanted to make sure whether what Jābir had said had been his own opinion or whether it was something that he had heard from the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). Jābir confirmed that he had heard it from the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).
Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade riding the camel which feeds on dung as well as drinking its milk.
Narrated by Ibn Majah - Narrated by At-Termedhy - Narrated by Abu Daoud
This Hadīth illustrates forbiddance of riding a camel or any other animal that feeds on dung, dirt, and filth or drinking its milk. The reason is that the flesh and milk of such animals is nurtured with filth, so they are not pure. However, if they are given fodder for three or more days, their meat and milk become lawful for consumption.
