· 7 Safar 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

It is haram for us to consume carrion (blood). Is it halaal for us to eat Spleen of an animal (since spleen also contains red blood cells) or is the prohibition only for running blood?

Answer

The eating of spleen is permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
