Eating peacock

Question:

eating peacock is haram or halaal?

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

 

Jurists have clearly stated that eating peacock is allowed since it is among the good foods which come under the saying of Allaah (which means): {and makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil} [Quran 7:157]

Moreover, it should be known that in principle all foods are lawful except what is proven by evidence to be forbidden, for the saying of Allaah (which means): {It is He who created for you all of that which is on earth.} [Quran 2:29].

Allaah Knows best.
