Is elephant meat halaal to consume?

It is important to keep in mind that the food one consumes, has an impact on one’s A’amaal (actions). If one eats Halaal and pure food, then one will be blessed with the Taufeeq of doing good actions, and, on the other hand, if one eats Haraam food, then the heart inclines towards the disobedience of Allah Ta’ala.

A predatory animal is defined by the Fuqaha as follows:

“A predatory animal is such an animal that grips, forcefully takes, wounds, kills and is generally aggressive.”

The Fuqaha have mentioned that it is Haraam to consume a predatory animal. Hence, it will not be permissible to consume elephant meat.
