by confinement. Our position is what was narrated from Ibn Umar, who said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) forbade the consumption of the jallālah and its milk. Narrated by Abu Dawud (55). It is also narrated from (56) Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-Aas that he said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) forbade the jallālah camel, saying that its meat should not be eaten, that nothing should be carried upon it except for the necessary load, and that people should not ride it until it has been fed (pure fodder) for forty nights. Narrated by al-Khallal with his chain of narration (57). This is because its meat is generated from filth, so it becomes impure, like the ashes of filth. As for the wine drinker, that is not the majority of his nourishment, for he is nourished by pure things, and the same applies to the disbeliever, in most cases.
Section: The dislike is removed by its confinement, by agreement. There is a difference of opinion regarding the duration. It is narrated from Ahmad that it is to be confined for three [days], regardless of whether it is a bird or a beast of burden. Ibn Umar, when he intended to eat one, would confine it (58) for three (59) days. This is the opinion of Abu Thawr, because that which purifies one animal purifies (60) another, like that which has become outwardly impure. The other [position] is that a chicken is to be confined for three days, while a camel, a cow, and the like are to be confined for forty. This is the opinion of Ata regarding the she-camel and the cow, due to the hadith of Abdullah ibn Amr; because they are greater in body, and the residue of their fodder remains in them longer than it does in a chicken or small animal. And Allah knows best.
Section: Riding the jallālah is disliked. This is the opinion of Umar, his son, and the scholars of rational opinion (Ashab al-Ra'y), based on the hadith of Abdullah ibn Amr from (61) the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) that he (58) forbade riding it. Furthermore, it may sweat and pollute [one's clothing] with its sweat.
