  • @MdAshrafulIslam Although some commercial egg producers proclaim that their eggs are from "vegetarian fed" hens, chickens are actually omnivores. Turkey, unlike vultures, are omnivores too. Vultures mostly are scavengers. If the Turkey has been slaughtered the Halal way, inshallah it is permissible to consume.

Allah the almighty said in the Qur'an:




Say, "I do not find within that which was revealed to me [anything] forbidden to one who would eat it unless it be a dead animal or blood spilled out or the flesh of swine - for indeed, it is impure - or it be [that slaughtered in] disobedience, dedicated to other than Allah . But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit], then indeed, your Lord is Forgiving and Merciful." (6:145)




Do you see turkey mentioned here? No and in the hadith explaining this revelation you read:




The people of pre-Islamic times used to eat some things and leave others alone, considering them unclean. Then Allah sent His Prophet (ï·º) and sent down His Book, marking some things lawful and others unlawful; so what He made lawful is lawful, what he made unlawful is unlawful, and what he said nothing about is allowable. And he recited: "Say: I find not in the message received by me by inspiration any (meat) forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it...." up to the end of the verse. (Sunan abi Daowd)




There's basically no difference between turkey and chicken in fact in Arabic turkey is literally called the Abesinian or Roman or Indian chicken/cock الديك الرومي/حبشى/هندى. And the prophet () is known to have eaten chicken (see here for example) so why would it be haram to eat an animal that basically is similar to chicken in almost all attributes.

    Turkey is halal. Birds that are haram are those which hunt with their talons, and Turkeys do not do that:




    نهى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عن كل ذي ناب من السباع وعن كل ذي مخلب من الطير



    Allah's Messenger (ï·º) prohibited the eating of all fanged beasts of prey, and all the birds having talons.



    — Sahih Muslim , كتاب الصيد والذبائح وما يؤكل من الحيوان




    Vulture is haram because it eats nothing but carrion which is Najas. Turkeys do not normally eat carrion.
