What I am saying is whether our Prophet [pbuh] ever really declared it haram? What I knew what that he [pbuh] just stopped eating it to pls his wives but he didn’t declare it haram before the ayah was revealed. From this lecture it is the first time I ever heard that he did indeed declare it haram and Allah had to reveal a ayah to tell him it’s not. That’s kinda hard to believe. So that’s why I was asking if anyone knew the source of of what Yusuf Estes said.
