Daging Mamalia Herbivora yang Diperselisihkan Kehalalannya Perspektif Kaidah al-Aslu fī Al-Asyyā’i al-Ibāhah

The Halality of Processed Herbivorous Mammalian Meat from the Perspective of the Principle of al-Aslu fī al-Asyyā’i al-Ibāhah

Abstract

This research aims to explore the concept of the principle of al-Aslu fī al-Asyyā’i al-Ibāhah regarding the disputed legality of consuming meat from herbivorous mammals, and to understand the ruling on the consumption of such meat from the perspective of the principle of al-Aslu fī al-Asyyā’i al-Ibāhah. The study employs a qualitative descriptive research method (non-statistical) in the form of a library research to gather necessary data, utilizing normative, philosophical, and fiqh approaches.The findings of this research indicate that the consumption of meat from herbivorous mammals whose legality is disputed under the principle of al-Aslu fī al-Asyyā’i al-Ibāhah is permissible, such as elephants, horses, and squirrels. This is due to the absence of clear evidence indicating their prohibition. According to this principle, anything is considered permissible (mubah) unless there is explicit evidence declaring it otherwise.The implications of this study are expected to provide benefits and additional knowledge, particularly for the community and Muslims in general, encouraging careful consideration regarding the legal status of various foods.
