>Ibn Abi Ammar said:
"I asked Jabir bin Abdullah: 'Is the hyena game?' He said: 'Yes'" He said: "I said: 'Can it be eaten?' He said: 'Yes.'" He said: "I said: 'Did the Messenger of Allah say that?' He said: 'Yes.'" (Jami` at-Tirmidhi 851 )
I'm confused regarding the edibility of hyenas. The Hadith above stipulates that the meat is halal. However there are other ahadith where all predatory animals with canines are haram. Hyenas have canines and they're predatory.
Could this be an example of abrogation? Could it be that hyenas were halal which were later counted as forbidden along with other predators?
