Dalīl al-Ṭālib - Marʿi al-Karmi - (326)

Section
Everything other than the foregoing is lawful: the pasture-livestock, horses, and the remaining wild game—such as the hyena, giraffe, hare, rock hyrax, jerboa, wild cattle and wild donkey, the desert monitor lizard, and antelopes—as well as the rest of the birds, for example the ostrich, chicken, peacock, parrot, jackdaw, and the grain-eating crow.

Every creature that lives in the sea is permissible, except the frog,1 snake, and crocodile.

The jallalah2—an animal whose principal feed is filth—is forbidden, and so are its milk and eggs, until it is confined for three days3 and given wholesome fodder.

It is disliked to eat soil, charcoal, clay, udhn qalb, raw onion, garlic, and similar items unless they have been thoroughly cooked.

Section
When a person is driven by necessity, he may consume from the prohibited only what will stave off death. If he can find nothing but a human whose blood may lawfully be shed—such as a belligerent non-Muslim or an adulterer who is muḥṣan—he is permitted to kill that person and eat him.4

(1) The term is pronounced with a short “i” on both letters (dafdiʿ); its feminine form is dafdaʿa (frog). Some authorities read it with a short “a” on the second consonant. Hawashi al-Iqnaʿ, 2/1084. (2) The words “wa hiya” are absent from manuscripts A and N. (3) Manuscript A reads: “tajlis.” (4) Al-Iqnaʿ records the wording “wajaba” (it becomes obligatory), as does Al-Muntaha, citing the verse, “Do not cast yourselves into destruction” (Q 2:195). One may argue that “permissibility” here is simply the opposite of prohibition, so an affirmative reply is implied; nonetheless, issuing an unqualified ruling where a restriction is required is, according to the legal maxim, incorrect. Hashiyat al-Labadi, p. 420.

فصل ويباح ماعدا هذا: كبهيمة الأنعام والخيل وباقي الوحش: كضبع وزرافة وأرنب ووبر ويربوع وبقر وحش وحمره وضب وظباء وباقي الطير: كنعام ودجاج وطاووس وببغاء وزاغ وغراب زرع. ويحل كل ما في البحر غير ضفدع١ وحية وتمساح. وتحرم الجلالة: وهي٢ التي أكثر علفها النجاسة ولبنها وبيضها حتى تحبس٣ ثلاثا وتطعم الطاهر. ويكره أكل تراب وفحم وطين وأذن قلب وبصل وثوم ونحوهما ما لم ينضج بطبخ. فصل ومن اضطر جاز٤ له أن يأكل من المحرم ما يسد رمقه فقط ومن لم يجد إلا آدميا مباح الدم: كحربي وزان محصن: فله قتله وأكله.

١ بكسر الضاد والدال والأنثى ضفدعة ومنهم: من يفتح الدال. حواشي الإقناع "٢/١٠٨٤". ٢ "وهي" لا توجد في "أ" ولا "ن". ٣ في "أ" تجلس". ٤ في الإقناع: وجب وكذا في المنتهى لقوله تعالى: ﴿وََلا تُلْقُوا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ﴾ , وقد يقال: الجواز هنا ما قابل التحريم فيدخل الجواب نعم الإطلاق في محل التقيد خطأ كما هو القاعدة. حاشية اللبدي "ص: ٤٢٠".
