Are insects haram to eat in the Maliki school?

You've got Chri Cupcake [laughter] Hamzaw Makbul. He's a malakei, but I don't know why on earth he's [laughter] a malakei, but he's a maliki. But it really there's no difference between what he would teach and what just an average hanfi theundi would teach. There's no difference at all. Um but so you do get people like that and you get some malikes that are very very harsh and they want to control make everything haram.

And I had somebody um in fact somebody sent me a question or answered by Sheikh Ramy Nasur. Oh man, what was it? It was something so weird and dumb. What was it? Oh, it was to do with are M&M's haram because M&M's I think it was M&M's or was it Skittles or but it was some sweet that had one of them apparently has a one of the colors has an ingredient that allegedly

or apparently has some extract from I don't know whether it's beetles or some some insect. Okay. So, some insect extract is used in a particular flavoring which produces a color I don't know whether it's the color red or something for one of these uh sweets. So, the question was asked that can you know are insects then haram in the in the Maliki Madhab?

So obviously and anybody who's really studied the Maliki Mhab and I'm not saying there ain't differences but this is in the Malik Mhab that almost everything to consume is halal [laughter] you know it's like whether it's birds in the sky whether it's anything in sea in the sea or almost anything on the land only pig is haram only pig and animals [laughter and clears throat] that were sacrificed to pagan gods s and you're going to get well and then you get other things that are made haram but for secondary purposes.

So they're made haram because they're already dead and you don't know how they died, whether they were poisoned or whether it was so you are told in Islam to stay away from it, but that's a secondary cause. It's not because the animal in and of itself would have been a haram animal. So you could get a goat. Now goat is halal to eat but you find there was a dead goat just lying there. Now that is haram because you don't know and that's just a health issue.

It's a health concern. So the Quran warns against these animals that where you find just carcasses of dead animals that you don't consume them. But the only thing in the Quran this is why the verse of the Quran speaks in his that look this verse I don't find anything that any person who was to eat it is haram for him except pig and then it says or that which was sacrificed for other than god or was already dead but that so that's it really now yes there are other creatures

that people don't eat and they may be considered in the Malik. Hence in the maku he writes they was the school of Medina that's how Imam Malik taught this but they are not haram. So things like wild animals you know tigers lions wolves people don't eat the these creatures but that doesn't make it haram. The fact that you don't eat elephant doesn't mean elephant is now haram in Islam.

It just means people generally don't eat these things. There's a cultural norms, conventions and practices. So similarly, people generally don't eat insects. But insects are not haram. Okay, that doesn't make it haram. Like if you if a person did swallow an insect, it doesn't mean that he ate something haram. It's just normally humans don't eat. I mean, I say normal people. I know there are some videos I've watched, not to come off stereotypical, but Chinese or in some parts of China where they do eat insects right now.

Okay, as [laughter] weird as that, definitely sickening as it is to me, but it doesn't make it haram. So anyway, she had a reply by Sheh Rammy Nasur. Now I hope he hadn't said this and the person got it wrong but they said she ramy Nasour says that and he's one of these kind of hardline malikes you know this kind of like they maliki but [laughter] you know the malik didn't really help them

this is not to be harsh to [laughter] a killer name though you Whatever you do, do not name your child that. Okay. Oh, wow. Super chat. Oh, yeah. That much love in a super chat. [laughter] Muhammad Abdul Baki Sharma. Yeah, you embarrass me. You know, you said you're burning the haters for no reason.

They're dying in Baba Fared and and the other haters have just had a triple heart attack. [laughter] Ah, much love, Mahmood. Mahmud says, "May Allah bless you. You saved so much of us from falling into institutionalization. You've started an age of enlightenment for the younger and future generations. You're doing it. We will always support you and keep you in our prayers. Can't thank you enough.

Much love to you. Much love to you. Seriously, it's incredibly heartwarming. It is. It is. And you know, I don't uh share as much. I should really share more um positive things because people see a lot of the hate and they don't really see so much positivity and I should share it more [laughter] but it's just it gives like a triple bypass heart attack. It's like there's you know they go into cardiac arrest the haters do.

I have to have some mercy on them. [laughter] Right. All right. So yeah. So Sheh Ramin Nasur he said um that no we should refrain insects should not be consumed according to the Maliki Madhab. Okay. I don't know. He said, "Because we're not sure whether the person who killed them was a Muslim." [laughter] I was like, "What?" And he said, "And they wouldn't have slaughtered them." [laughter]

I'm thinking, "Yeah, what the what the hell is he on about? What [laughter] are you on about?" He's like, you know, the the right is the right way to kind of slaughter, not zakat with a z, but the zak uh is or with the is to kind of do the the ritual slaughtering. So he says well because one we don't know who did the who killed them was a Muslim and two the right the cur the kind of right slaughtering ritual slaughtering would most likely not have been carried out on this poor

[laughter] a spider this ladybird you're doing it you're doing it ramy you're doing it you know [laughter] I don't know about anyone else, but raasur [laughter] that's I don't know I don't know how you sacrifice an insect.

I don't even know how that do we like go into a a micro. Do you have to like how how do you you [laughter] get this little insect and you go I don't I mean does blood have to come out of it? How how does it work? Does it like [laughter] like get a needle and go it's just it's crazy this stuff people Mhm.

So there is no such thing as sacrificing these creatures. Okay? None of the the only creatures who are sacrificed in Islam as in there's a ritual slaughtering is only the kind of dosile the the domesticated animals that is it like poultry you're going to get you're going to get whatever normal kind of farm um that kind of lifestyle pastoralist kind of lifestyle animals that people have generally They are sacras.

They have a ritual slaughtering like goat, sheep, cows, camels, things like that. Anything else, uh, chickens of course, anything else that is generally, you know, it's it's just out there, they are just hunted. So by any means whether they are shot or arrows or fished out or you know if people were into eating insects they just crush them or whatever that is it it doesn't there is no ritual slaughtering it's not like okay we're going to here's this little cockroach and I don't know who wants to eat cockroach

but [laughter] here's this cockroach get this cockroach get this knife [laughter] you're going to even the cockroach is like [laughter] he's like I mean cockroaches in ISIS land [laughter] like what the hell I don't know man I don't know so everything yeah right so RZ much love for the super chat man much love mods are out of control also what does maliki mean Right mods
