According
to many authentic narrations, the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi
wasallam) prohibited the eating of every fanged predator
(carnivores/beasts of prey):
عَنْ
ابْنِ
عَبَّاسٍ :
أَنَّ
رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ
وَسَلَّمَ "
نَهَى
عَنْ كُلِّ ذِي نَابٍ مِنَ السِّبَاعِ
وَعَنْ كُلِّ ذِي مِخْلَبٍ مِنَ الطَّيْرِ
"
Translation:
Ibn Abbas (r.a.) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu
alayhi wasallam) forbade the eating of every fanged beast of prey and
all the birds having talons. (Sahih Muslim)
The
fox is an animal included in the list of fanged beasts of prey which
are explicitly forbidden to eat. Notice that the word Kull is
used in the Hadith, meaning “every” and “all”. Therefore,
there are no exceptions whatsoever to this law of the Shari'ah. It is sad that many Muslims consider the "four schools of thought - Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'ie, and Hanbali" to be infallible by blindly following them when they have so many rulings within them that clearly go against the divine Revelation.
For example, Imam Shafi'ie, to whom the Shafi'ie school of jurisprudence is
attributed, said:
وَتُؤْكَلُ
الضَّبُعُ وَالثَّعْلَبُ
Translation:
“It is allowed to eat the hyena and the fox”
