Bismillaah,

To consume dead animals; it has been forbidden by Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta’aala) when He mentions in the Qur’aan:

“Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah , and [those animals] killed by strangling or by a violent blow or by a head-long fall or by the goring of horns, and those from which a wild animal has eaten....” (Surah Maa’idah: Ayah 3)

Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan mentions:

“As for the dead, it is the animal which dies without being slaughtered according to the legal way of slaughtering. It is forbidden by reason of being an evil food, as one’s purity is surely affected by the kind of food one eats. Prohibiting such kinds of food is one of the virtues of the Shari’ah (Islamic Law). However if one is compelled to eat such a food, it is lawful for him to do so and the aspect of being impure and evil is nullified under the circumstance of necessity. This is because the evil impure affects of the food is only there when one is willing to accept eating such a kind of food...” (A Summary of Islamic Fiqh, page 651)

Sujood (prostration) is one of the arkaan (pillars) of as-Salaah and it is obligatory to perform it. If intentionally neglected, the Salaah will be invalidated, however, if neglected inattentively, the prayer is not invalidated, and performing Sajdah as-Sahw (Prostration of forgetfulness) will be obligatory then.

Allaah mentions in the Qur’aan:

“O you who believe! Bow down, and prostrate yourselves, and worship your Lord and do good that you may be successful.” (Surah Hajj: Ayah 77)

“We have already stated the Qur'anic verse dealing with this obligatory act. The Prophet explained it in a hadith by saying, "Then prostrate until you attain calmness in your prostration, then rise (and sit) until you attain calmness in your sitting, and then prostrate until you gain calmness in your prostration. The first prostration, sitting afterwards, the second prostration and calmness during all of these acts are obligatory in every rak'ah of every obligatory or superogatory prayer.” (Fiqh as-Sunnah, Volume 1, Page 123a: Obligatory acts of prayer, Prostration)

Akhi both the men in both situations didnt sin u have to explain how that is possible

hope am not confusin u guys

That's just confusing .


On behalf of the Staff Team,

In the first case, the man could be eating Fish. They are not slaughtered like other animals, but are still halal to eat.

About the second one, it could be Salaatul Mayyit, which doesn't have a sajdah, therefore his Salaah counts, and he is not sinning.


If the above are wrong, the Staff Team still have one atempt to answer the question.

Aleykum selam,

NO, sorry, both are right! Hehehehe... Sorry. I forgot it (Salatul Mayyit) has another name. *ehem*

MashaAllah, both answers are correct! Dead fish and Namaz-e-Janaza!

Alhamdulillah, , you should know though that it wasn't me that solved it

Aleykum selam, brother,

Well, 'you' can also be plural innit.

You got BOTH right (I was too eager to reply! ) and that means...
