Re: Maliki Fiqh' allows dog meat?
As far as my understanding and my belief is that ..yes Maliki do believe so ..but only in such a case where you canNOT find anything else which is Halal. In Islamic Shariah terminology it is called a ''Rukhsati'' where basically you are excused because of an impossibility .. and in this case ..that it is impossible to find Halal meat / or anything to satisfy ur hunger ..then and only then as a last resort ..if dog meat is available it is Halal for you because you have no choice..
oh and its not hala cos u cant find Halal meat ..it can be anything .. therefore, nowa days .. i would belive its impossible that you wouldnt find an alternative to satisfy ur hunger ..grab some fruit lol
This is a bit like .. say your caught by the enemy and they feed you Pig meat ..and they force you to eat it or they ll shoot you ...Now here again you as a Muslim have that option of Rukhsati .. either take the bullet or u eat .. so now this pork becomes jaa'iz for you because your life is in danger ..and if you dunt eat you ll die anyway of hunger .. This rule is from Hanafi Fiqh ..
So basically Dog meat being Halal is more to do with the Rukhsati :)
