[5:3] question

Basically everything is on in regards to food in hardship/survival mode except killing humans for food no matter how plump and enticing they might look to the starved.

Well I don't remember the verse and chapter, and I apologize for this I know its really bad but I read something that was banning suspicion or backbiting, and it said this is even more abominable than eating your dead brother's flesh (well apparently its only Khalifa's translation that says suspicion is more abominable than eating flesh of your dead brother, but all the other translations still say it is something abhorrent, something you would hate/abhor)

Peace AK85
Quote<I never "insisted they can be sacrificed on hajj." Can you show me where I said that or what you drew that from? Thanks.>
You didn?t insist but kept writing about them and the method of catching/slaughtering them etc?You were not sure the Quran has banned them?Anyhow that was my impression and sorry if I wasn?t right.
Peace

Anyways back to the original topic, what do you guys have to say about that, the "violent blow" and whether this can include killing with hunting rifles, and what method should be used besides the banned methods using only the Qu'ran as guidance. Does anyone have any idea of methods to be used which do not fall into the banned methods besides throat slitting?
-
It is, if you slaughter them halally to eat them. If not, then they probably died of some 28 days later like virus and you're better off not eating them in extreme circumstances. I'd sooner eat my arm than a dead zombie.
I'm seriously apologizing for being a little slow but what are you getting across with this?
-
Eating humans is not banned in Quran, can we cook our neighbours or should we eat them raw?
You have said you read the entire Qu'ran, correct? I remember you said that once when you replied to a question of mine whether passing wind nullifies ablution, and you said it is not anywhere in the Qu'ran.
What is your opinion of 4912, in regards to the part about eating your dead brother's flesh. I'm seriously asking for your opinion, this isn't a provoking question

It means back-biting.
I was not being serious about eating my neighbours! Sorry my humour runs away with me sometimes.

yeah, but doesn't it compare it to eating your dead brother's flesh when it is implying that it is equally as abhorrent? Or according to Khalifa's translation, backbiting is even more abominable than eating your dead brother's flesh?

YUSUFALI O ye who believe! Avoid suspicion as much (as possible) for suspicion in some cases is a sin And spy not on each other behind their backs. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Nay, ye would abhor it...But fear Allah For Allah is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.Its about bitching, spying on, suspecting and back biting. When one does this to/about another person it is as bad as eating their flesh.
-
Ok, but were you being serious when you said the Qu'ran does not ban eating humans?
Are you being serious?
AK you are the one that is saying this is not banned that is not banned, that is why I said eating humans is also not banned. That should be part of common sense when Quran tells what ANIMALS/LIVESTOCK we can eat shouldn't it?

Yes, I understand that, and that was what I explained as my understanding that the various translations say that it is either just as bad as eating someone else's flesh or is even worse than eating someone's flesh. Which means that eating someone's flesh is abhorrent, not approved by Allah. All off topic anyways.
"Well I don't remember the verse and chapter, and I apologize for this I know its really bad but I read something that was banning suspicion or backbiting, and it said this is even more abominable than eating your dead brother's flesh (well apparently its only Khalifa's translation that says suspicion is more abominable than eating flesh of your dead brother, but all the other translations still say it is something abhorrent, something you would hate/abhor )"

Peace
Well it is not simply common sense, it is also listed as being abhorrent, equally or less but still abhorrent in comparison to backbiting.
The other animals are not banned in words though, except for during Hajj. However like I said, I am honestly interested in seeing if people have had success in killing them in a halal way. It might be possible I don't know. I am wondering if someone based on deduction using the methods we can't use can suggest a way perhaps besides throat slitting which will not fall into the category of banned methods.
If not however and the only halal way is throat slitting, maybe someone could do it successfully with a cat. I doubt it with a monkey though, or a lion or a lizard or most birds (especially small birds and/or powerful and dangerous birds ) and I wouldn't try it out on a large flightless bird either, those things can disembowel with one kick.
I'm assuming these bans on these animals don't exist, but I am thinking as of right now (and am hoping someone can and will contribute if they have devised or know of a non haram method to kill them besides throat slitting which would be problematic with these animals) it cannot be done. So if we are starving, we have no recourse but to kill them in a haram way, but we cannot eat them out of desire because as of right now, I don't know of any halal method to kill them (which will not lead to haram injuries to the animal or injuries period to ourselves)

@ AK85
Anaam/livestock in the Quran are animals that eat crops. Here is the reminder;
Do they not realize that we drive the water to barren lands, and produce with it crops to feed their livestock, as well as themselves? Do they not see?
Anaam only can be sacrificed on Hajj because they are domesticated/subdued animals. Here is the reminder;
. Neither their meat, nor their blood reaches GOD. What reaches Him is your righteousness. He has subdued them for you, that you may show your appreciation by glorifying GOD for guiding you. Give good news to the charitable.
Annam/livestock are the only animals which can make them standing in line.
. The animal offerings are among the rites decreed by GOD for your own good. You shall mention GOD's name on them while they are stand- ing in line. Once they are offered for sacrifice, you shall eat therefrom and feed the poor and the needy. This is why we subdued them for you, that you may show your appreciation.
In 51 God makes lawful/Halal only Livestock on Hajj too
O you who believe, you shall fulfill your covenants. Permitted for you to eat are the livestock, except those specifically prohibited herein. You shall not permit hunting throughout Hajj pilgrimage. GOD decrees whatever He wills.
Would you still insist that Lions, monkey and cats can be sacrificed on Hajj? If so please show me the proof .Thanks
Peace
Ok, so you have shown me (very clearly thank you) the animals permitted and banned for slaughter during Hajj. Now can you show me where lions, tigers, monkeys, cats, lizards etc. are banned period i.e. not during hajj? That's was what I was talking about, NOT about what animals are banned during Hajj.
P.S. I'm not even hoping that you don't bring a verse that shows these aren't banned, personally I wouldn't want to eat cats or monkeys or lizards. Even if they are not outright banned though, with the reasons I showed above, it would be difficult to slaughter them in a halal way. Unless someone can show me methods which have worked successfully in regards to slaughtering them in a halal way.
This is what I was talking about. Not an insistence of lions, monkeys, cats and lizards being permitted for slaughter during Hajj.
