ahmad:11495Yaḥyá b. Saʿīd > Mujālid > Abū al-Waddākiʿan Abū Saʿīd

[Machine] We asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the fetus of a she-camel and a cow. He said, "If you wish, you can eat it, as its payment (zakat) is the zakat of its mother."  

أحمد:١١٤٩٥حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَدَّاكِعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ

سَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ جَنِينِ النَّاقَةِ وَالْبَقَرَةِ فَقَالَ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ فَكُلُوهُ فَإِنَّ ذَكَاتَهُ ذَكَاةُ أُمِّهِ

سَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْجَنِينِ يَكُونُ فِي بَطْنِ النَّاقَةِ أَوِ الْبَقَرَةِ أَوِ الشَّاةِ؟ فَقَالَ كُلُوهُ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ فَإِنَّ ذَكَاتَهُ ذَكَاةُ أُمِّهِ

[Machine] We said, "O Messenger of Allah, one of us slaughters a camel and slaughters a cow or a sheep, and there is a fetus in its womb. Should we throw it away or eat it?" He said, "Eat it if you wish, as its zakat is the zakat of its mother."
