Brother, you're most welcome to ask any question. I don't feel
hurt at all. I know I'm not contradicting any of you
contradicting. No problem, it's my job. I'm a die. It's my
profession. You can criticize me. You can criticize the Quran. I'm
young, but I can take it. Alhamdulillah. No problem,
brother, I don't get agitated. You can ask any questions. No problem.
Brother, the question. He said that when I said in my talk that
you cannot kill for pleasure of hunting, I said, a pleasure
hunting. You cannot kill any animal, just without any purpose.
Pleasure of hunting here we don't eat non veg only for taste. We eat
for our sustenance. So if you say we can't eat animals, we can't eat
plants, also what we'll eat. How will we survive?
How will you survive? So
clarify, I'm not asking if I'm eating it for necessity. Suppose I
think, Okay, this animal food is going to be tasty. I want to kill
it for my personal pleasure alone, not I'm feeling hunger. I think,
is it also a sin if it's for eating, for eating tasty food,
also no problem. You have to eat. If you don't eat, you can't
survive. If you don't eat, you can't survive. So Almighty God and
meshes Manu smithy, chapter number five, verse number 30, some
animals have been created to eat, some to be eaten. No, but I have
read it just asking your point of view. Is it wrong of you? Is it
wrong to kill animal on the basis of just merely taste pleasure. It
is not wrong at all to kill an animal, even if you want to have
tasty as long as it is for food. Okay? Thank you. Why? Because
Quran gives permission in Surah mahidha chapter five, verse number
one, manushmiti gives you do not know what I want to tell people
that I believe in this part of manusmu, the other part I may not
believe, but this part of Manu smithy, I believe chapter five,
verse 30, that Almighty God created some animals to eat, some
to be eaten. So if you eat the animals which have been created to
be eaten, you're not doing a sin. Similarly, Quran also says certain
animals have been created to be eaten, but if you eat the other
animals which have not been created for eating, minutes of
sin. So those catches a sheep, etc, which are permitted in the
Quran that if you eat for food, even if it's tasty food. No
problem. Some people want to have vegetable, tasty vegetable. Some
people like brinjal, some people like Eddie finger. So no problem.
If I agree with you that nothing should be eaten, then you will
have to kill either the plant or the animal. So while eating, if
you're eating good things, as long as you're not wasting If you waste
food, it is wrong. If you waste food, it is wrong. So if you kill
for eating for sustenance, even if it's tasty, no problem. It's
permitted. It's mentioned the Quran. Surah Mada chapter five,
verse number one. Surah Niel chapter 60, verse number five, as
well as Surah mominon chapter 23 verse 21 hope that's the question
you.
