Chapter: The food gained as war booty in the battlefield
Narrated Ibn Abi `Aufa:
We were afflicted with hunger during the besiege of Khaibar, and when it was the day of (the battle of) Khaibar, we slaughtered the donkeys and when the pots got boiling (with their meat). Allah's Apostle made an announcement that all the pots should be upset and that nobody should eat anything of the meat of the donkeys. We thought that the Prophet (ﷺ) prohibited that because the Khumus had not been taken out of the booty (i.e. donkeys); other people said, "He prohibited eating them for ever." The sub-narrator added, "I asked Sa`id bin Jubair who said, 'He has made the eating of donkeys' meat illegal for ever.") - Sahih:Al Bukhari:3155 (islam)
-Is it still applicable today?
- What will happen to a Muslim who eat a donkey?
- What will happen to a non-Muslim?
- Is it possible to change that today?
And do not eat of that upon which the name of Allah has not been mentioned, for indeed, it is grave disobedience. And indeed do the devils inspire their allies [among men] to dispute with you. And if you were to obey them, indeed, you would be associators [of others with Him]. - Quran:Al-An'am 6:121 (islam)
-What about meat killed for no God at all?
- Who are the idolaters, just some meat eaters?

He has only forbidden to you dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah. But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit], there is no sin upon him. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. - Quran:Al-Baqarah 2:173 (islam)
-Is it valid for all time?
- Is it because of sanitary reasons?
- What about the flesh dedicated to other than Allah?
- Even with the invention of the fridge?
- Billions of people had eaten and will eat swine flesh, is there any problem?
- Is it a Divine command or just the opinion of a 7-century illiterate desert dweller?
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, except what you [are able to] slaughter [before its death], and those which are sacrificed on stone altars, and [prohibited is] that you seek decision through divining arrows. That is grave disobedience. This day those who disbelieve have despaired of [defeating] your religion; so fear them not, but fear Me. This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion. But whoever is forced by severe hunger with no inclination to sin - then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. - Quran:Al-Ma'idah 5:3 (islam)
-Why is that, do you go to hell if you draw lots?
- Is this valid for all time?
- What about the use of capture bolt gun (instantaneous death, without the need to cut the throat), is it hallal?

Chapter: Regarding the hadd (punishment) for drinking khamr
Anas b. Malik said:
The Prophet (ﷺ) gave a beating with palm-branches and sandals for drinking wine and Abu Bakr gave lashes. When ‘Umar came to power, he called upon people and said to them: The people are living now near watering placing, and, according to Musaddad’s version, “near villages and watering places, so what do you say about the punishment for (drinking) wine? ‘Abd al-Rahman b. ‘Awf said: We think that you should prescribe the lightest punishment. So he fixed eight lashes for it. Abu Dawud said: It has also been transmitted by Ibn Al 'Arubah from Qatadah from the Prophet (ﷺ) to the effect that he gave a beating forty times with palm branches and sandals. And Shu'bah narrated it from Qatadah on the authority of Anas from Prophet (ﷺ). This version has: He gave a beating with two palm-branches about forty times. - Sahih:Abu Dawud:4479 (islam)
