What is the ruling on taking money for eating flies, and must the one who ate flies return the money after spending it?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
It is forbidden to eat flies and insects such as wasps, spiders, and beetles because they are among the impure and harmful things that are prohibited. What is mentioned in the hadith about the fly, that one of its wings carries a disease, does not mean that it is not harmful. And betting on eating any of them is void.
