Ruling on eating duck and pigeon.

I am not sure if i can eat meat as a duck OR pigeon. are they Halal.
Praise be to Allaah.
The basic principle with regard to food and drinkis that it is
permissible unless there is proof thatit is haraam. Allah says
(interpretation of the meaning): "He it is Who created for you all
that ison earth" [al-Baqarah 2:29].
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbaas said: The people of the Jaahiliyyah
used to eat some things and refrain from others because they found
them off-putting. Then Allah, may He be exalted,sent His Prophet
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), revealed His Book, and
explained what is permissible and what is forbidden. Whatever
theQur'aan has permitted is permissible and whatever it has forbidden
is forbidden, and whatever it does not mention is pardoned. Then he
recited: "Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): I find not in that
which has been revealed to me anything forbidden to be eaten byone who
wishes to eat it, unless…" [al-An'aam 6:145] until the end of the
verse.
Narrated by Abu Dawood (3306); classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani
(may Allah have mercy on him).
Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The second
type is that concerning which no prohibition was narrated; it is
permissible, but on condition that it be slaughtered properly, such as
duck and waterfowl.
End quote from Fath al-Baari.
With regard to ducks and pigeons, there is no evidence to suggest that
it is haraam to eat them, so we go back to the original principle,
whichis that they are permissible. In fact the permissibility of
eating pigeons can be seen in the fact that the Sahaabah (may Allah be
pleased with them) ruled that if a muhrim (pilgrim in ihram) hunted
the pigeons of the Haram (sanctuary), the expiation for that is a
sheep, which indicates that it is permissible to eat them (i.e.,
pigeons -- the prohibition is on hunting when in ihram and within the
boundaries of the Haram).
Ibn Qudaamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Similar rulingswere
made by 'Umar, 'Uthmaan, Ibn 'Umar, Ibn'Abbaas and Naafi' ibn 'Abd
al-Haarith…
End quote from al-Mughni, 3/247
An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:Our companions are
unanimously agreed that it is permissible to eat ostriches, chickens…
ducks, sand grouse, sparrows, larks, francolin and pigeons…
End quote from Sharh al-Muhadhdhab, 7/22
He also said: Whatever lives in the water and onland, including
waterfowl such as ducks,geese and so in, is halaalas stated above, but
if any of these dies of natural causes (i.e., is not slaughtered in
the proper manner) it is not halaal, and there is no difference of
scholarly opinion on this point. Rather it is essential that it be
slaughtered properly.
End quote from Sharh al-Muhadhdhab, 9/35
And Allah knows best.

Food & Nourishment -, Ruling on eating fishthat fed on dead animalsin artificial ponds.,Dought - clear - ,

Is it permissible to eat fishes that is feed from dead animals eg dead
chickens or najaza in artificial pond.
Praise be to Allaah.
If most of the food that was given to the fish was taahir (pure), it
is permissible to eat the fish and there is nothingwrong with that.
But if most of it was from najis (impure) carcasses (i.e., the fish
are what the scholars call jallaalah or animals that feed on filth),
then it is not permissible to eat the fish until they have been
prevented from eating impurities for three days or more, and have been
fed with food that is pure so that their flesh will become good.
It says in Kashshaaf al-Qinaa' (6/193): Jallaalah – which refers to
animals most of whose food is najis – is haraam, as is its milk,
because of the report narrated by Ibn 'Umar who said: The Prophet
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) forbade eating jallaalah or
(drinking) its milk. Narrated by Ahmad, Abu Dawood and at-Tirmidhi who
said: (it is) hasan ghareeb. It was classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in
al-Irwaa', 2503…
… (it is haraam) until it has been kept for three days and nights,
becauseif Ibn 'Umar wanted to eat (such an animal), he would keep it
for three days and feed it with pure food, and prevent it from eating
impure food, whether it was a bird or animal, because the factor that
was preventing it from beinghalaal would be removed thereby. End
quote.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said: The milkof the jallaalah that
feeds on impure things was forbidden by the Prophet (blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him), but if it is kept until it becomes pure,
then it becomes halaal according to Muslim consensus, because before
that the traces of impurity would appear in its milk, eggs and sweat,
and the stench and foulness of the impurity would become apparent. But
once that disappeared it would become pure. If the ruling applies
because ofa reason, it ceases to apply when that reason disappears.
End quote from Majmoo'al-Fataawa, 21/618.
The Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas was asked: They feed
chickens with various kinds of food, among which is ground meat of
animals that died without being slaughtered properly, and meat from
pigs. Are the chicken that are fed with this meat halaal or haraam? If
they are haraam, what is the ruling on their eggs?
They replied: If what is said about their feed is correct, then there
is a difference of opinion among the scholars withregard to eating
their flesh and eggs. Maalik and a number of others said that eating
their flesh and eggs is permissible, because the impure feed becomes
pure when it is transformed into flesh and eggs (i.e., istihaalah).
But a number of scholars, including ath-Thawri, ash-Shaafa'i and Ahmad
are of the view that it is haraam to eat their fleshand eggs, or to
drink themilk (of animals to which the same criteria apply), unless
they were fed with pure feed after that for three days or more, in
which case it becomes permissible to eat the (meat), eggs and milk.
And it was said thatif most of their feed is impure, then they are
classed as jallaalah and cannot be eaten, but if most of their feed is
pure, then they may be eaten. A number of scholars said that it is
haraam, because of the report narrated by Ahmad, Abu Dawood,
an-Nasaa'i, at-Tirmidhi and Ibn Maajah from Ibn'Umar, according to
which the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon
him) forbade eating jallaalah or (drinking) their milk.
Jallaalah refers to any animal that eats filth andother kinds of
impurities. But the most correct view is that which says that it
depends, which is the second view quoted above.
End quote from Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa'imah, 23/377
If it is clear that eating these fish – even if they have been kept
(away from impurities) for three days or more – willcause harm, it is
not permissible to eat them, because Allah, may He beexalted, says
(interpretation of the meaning): "and do not throw yourselves into
destruction" [al-Baqarah2:195]. And the Prophet (blessings and peace
of Allah be upon him) said: "There should be no causing harm or
reciprocating harm." Narrated by Ibn Maajah, 2431; classed as saheeh
by al-Albaani in Irwa' al-Ghaleel, 896
And Allah knows best.

Are you ready for your turn?,Islamic Stories - ,

He was a student, probably in his early twenties. I didn't know his
name--I really didn't care. All I know is he wasgoing for a lay-up
while playing basketball, lost his balance and fell on the
ground--flat on his back.
We thought he would shake it off and continuethe game--so no one
really cared. To everyone's surprise, he never got up. At first a few
people on his team (later everyone) went upto him but he just wouldn't
reply.
CPR did no good. The ambulance personnel couldn't save him from dying.
The result at the ER was no better. HE WASDEAD!
As I came home tonight, I thought to myself, it could have been me
going up for that lay-up.It is very possible that I could be laying in
the cold city morgue, right this minute, as I type thise-mail.
Am I ready to die? Did I communicate with Allah today? Did I perform
my daily prayers? Did I seek the pleasure of Allah?
Did I treat my parents and family with respect and love? Did I give
any at all in charity (sadaqa) today? How many times did I remember
Allah and recount His name?
The entire day I made time to go to school, check my e-mail, read the
news, chat with friends, watch TV, play basketball.......but did I
even once say"Astagfirullah"? Did I ask Allah to forgive the sins that
I've committed today? NO! Not once.
Did I say "Alhamdulillah" other than in my daily prayers? NO! Not once
my friends. Would you like to know why? Because I was too caught up
with myself and my daily activities.
Well, guess what. I could have lost my life during a lay-up in a
basketball game and what do I have with me? Not a thing. Nothing that
I did today do I get to bring with me to the grave. Nothing.
A few words that I could have uttered were the only things that I
could have brought with me. Afew words that would'vetaken a few
seconds of concentration out of the 24 hrs. that was allotted to me.
A few cents in charity instead of cold drinks and candy bars could
have saved my soul. But Iinsisted to continue withmy careless
attitude. Thank God it wasn't my turn to go, because I sure wasn't
ready.
Now I close my eyes and say Alhamdulillah. Now I look back and say
Astagfirullah. Now I havea different attitude. Now, I want to prepare
for my turn.
Did you perform your prayers today? Did you give in charity and love?
Did you ask for forgiveness yet? Do you care? I'm asking becauseI
don't want to see you fall, knowing you aren't ready for your turn.
Are you ready for your turn?
May the Peace and Mercyof Allah be upon us all.
