Question:

Assalaamualaikum,

Can you please inform me if iguana is permissible to eat?


Answer:

Assalamu Alaikum,

The Hanafi position is that it is not allowed, based on the dislike of it of the Prophet SAS. However, the other imams have allowed it. It is not known to be foul in its eating habits.
