The quick answer is no foxes are not halal. Here’s a more detailed explanation.
According to Islamic law animals that are considered clean (halal) are those that are:
– Sentient beings meaning they can feel pain and pleasure
– Have a split hooves
– Chew their cud
Foxes do not fall under any of these categories. They are not considered sentient beings because they do not have the ability to reason or think abstractly. Additionally they do not have split hooves and they do not chew their cud.
Some people argue that since foxes are not considered dirty (haram) they must be halal. However this is not the case. Just because an animal is not dirty does not mean it is automatically halal. The animal must also meet the other criteria for being halal.
So to sum it up foxes are not halal because they do not meet the Islamic criteria for being clean.
