Ibn Umar رضى الله عنه narrates in an authentic Hadith reported by Ibn Majah:
مَنْ يَأْكُلُ الْغُرَابَ ، وَقَدْ سَمَّاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاسِقًا ، وَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ مِنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ
For the one who eats the crow, then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) named it as 'Faasiq' (wicked). I swear by Allah that it (the crow) is not from the pure things.
Reference: Sunan Ibn Maajah: Kitaab us Sayd, Bab al-Ghuraab
Indeed the crow is haram to eat because it is an impure bird, which feeds on carrion and filth. However, according to Deobandi mullah Mufti Rashid Ahmad Gongohi, the crow is not only halal, but to eat it entails Thawaab (spiritual reward)!

All those birds are halal which merely eat grains and crop and do not hunt with their claws and do not prey on other animals, like ducks, chickens, crows, doves, pigeons, sparrows, etc.
ReplyDeleteقال رحمه الله ( ولا يؤكل ذو ناب ولا مخلب من سبع وطير ) يعني لا يحل أكل ذي ناب من سباع البهائم وذي مخلب من سباع الطير لما روى ابن عباس رضى الله تعالى عنهما أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم نهى عن أكل ذي ناب ومخلب من سبع وطير رواه مسلم والجماعة
والسباع جمع سبع وهو كل مختطف منتهب جارح قاتل عادة والمراد بذي المخلب ما له مخلب هو سلاح وهو مفعل من الخلب وهو مزق الجلد ويعلم بذلك أن المراد بذي مخلب هو سباع الطير لأن كل ماله مخلب وهو الظفر كما أريد به في ذي ناب من سباع البهائم لا كل ما له ناب ولأن طبيعة هذه الأشياء مذمومة شرعا فيخشى أن يتولد من لحمها شيء من طباعها فيحرم إكراما لبني آدم وهو نظير ما روي عنه عليه الصلاة والسلام أنه قال لا ترضع لكم الحمقاء فإن اللبن يغذي (البحر الرائق - (8 / 195)
This Fatwa is regarding Zaagh-e-Ma'rufa (the well-known crow), which is the black crow, not a specific white crow which only feeds on grain. The well-known crow (Zaagh-e-Ma'rufa) feeds on carrion and possesses talons. Furthermore, Molvi Rashid Gangohi was referring to that crow that people regard as Haram and those who eat it as dispraised. So obviously that is not the crow that feeds on grain but the well-known crow that feeds on carrion.
DeleteSee also how in the Hanafi madhhab this kind of crow is considered Halal, even when it is confessed that it feeds on impurity.

فَإِنْ كَانَ الْغُرَابُ بِحَيْثُ يَخْلِطُ فَيَأْكُلُ الْجِيَفَ تَارَةً وَالْحَبَّ تَارَةً فَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي يُوسُفَ أَنَّهُ يُكْرَهُ وَعَنْ أَبِي حَنِيفَةَ أَنَّهُ لَا بَأْسَ بِأَكْلِهِ ، وَهُوَ الصَّحِيحُ عَلَى قِيَاسِ الدَّجَاجَةِ
Deleteعَنْ أَبِي يُوسُفُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا حَنِيفَةَ عَنْ العَقْعَقِ فَقَالَ: لَا بَأْسَ فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّهُ يَأْكُلُ النجاسات فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ يَخْلِطُ النجاسة بشئ آخَرَ ثُمَّ يَأْكُلُ فَكَانَ الْأَصْلُ عِنْدَهُ أَنَّ مَا يَخْلِطُ كَالدَّجَاجِ لَا بَأْسَ
