Majmu Fatawa - Salih Al-Fawzan - (1/146)

Question: Does this not also extend to wrongful deeds—acts that, if a person is tried by them, he should at the very least keep concealed?

Answer: You mean publicizing crimes and exposing sinners? Yes, that too is included. Yet His statement, “except the one who has been wronged,” sets up a contrast between two parties—the wronged and the wrong-doer—and it permits the wronged person to speak out with harsh words against the one who oppressed him.

Exegesis of Sura al-Māʾidah

Question: I would like you to explain Allah’s words: “Forbidden to you are carrion, blood, the flesh of swine, that which has been dedicated to other than Allah, the strangled, the beaten, the fallen, the gored, what a predator has partially eaten—unless you are able to slaughter it—and that which has been sacrificed on stone altars” (5:3). Are the fallen animal (al-mutaraddiyah) and the gored animal (al-naṭīḥah) unlawful to eat only when they die immediately from the fall or the goring, or is it still unlawful if they linger for some time and you then slaughter them?

Answer: Allah addresses His believing servants—whom He called at the outset of this great sura with the words, “O you who believe, fulfil your covenants” (5:1)—saying: “Forbidden to you is carrion” (5:3), that is, Allah has forbidden you to eat an animal that dies without the lawful ritual slaughter. An explicit text makes an exception for the carrion of fish and locusts, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Two kinds of carrion and two kinds of blood have been made lawful for us. As for the two kinds of carrion, they are fish and locusts.” Thus the dead fish and locust are lawful, and everything else remains forbidden.

سؤال: يعني لا يعم هذا حتى الأفعال الباطلة التي على الأقل إذا ابتلي الإنسان بها أن يستتر؟ الجواب: يعني إشهار الجرائم والتشهير بالعصاة؟ نعم، يدخل في هذا أيضًا، لكن قوله: ﴿إِلَّا مَنْ ظُلِمَ﴾ يبدو أن فيه مقابلة بين طرفين، مظلوم وظالم، وأنه يجوز للمظلوم أن يظهر بالسوء على من ظلمه. *** تفسير سورة المائدة سؤال: أرجو منكم تفسير قول الله تعالى: ﴿حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةُ وَالدَّمُ وَلَحْمُ الْخِنْزِيرِ وَمَا أُهِلَّ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ بِهِ وَالْمُنْخَنِقَةُ وَالْمَوْقُوذَةُ وَالْمُتَرَدِّيَةُ وَالنَّطِيحَةُ وَمَا أَكَلَ السَّبُعُ إِلَّا مَا ذَكَّيْتُمْ وَمَا ذُبِحَ عَلَى النُّصُبِ﴾ [المائدة: ٣] ، ثم هل المتردية والنطيحة محرم أكل لحمهما عندما تموت مباشرة بسبب ذلك، أو محرم أكلها ولو بقيت مدة طويلة ثم ذبحتها بعد ذلك؟ الجواب: يقول الله مخاطبًا عباده المؤمنين الذين ناداهم في مطلع هذه السورة العظيمة بقوله: ﴿يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَوْفُوا بِالْعُقُودِ﴾ [المائدة: ١] ، يقول تعالى: ﴿حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةُ﴾ : أي حرم الله ﷾ عليكم أكل الميتة، والميتة: هي التي ماتت بغير زكاة شرعية، وقد خص منها الدليل ميتة السمك والجراد كما قال ﷺ: «أحلت ميتتان ودمان، أما الميتتان: فالسمك والجراد» . فالسمك والجراد أحل الله ميتتهما، وما عدا ذلك فإنه حرام.
