Preying locust
2768.
If locust is caught alive by hand or by any
other means, it is Halal to eat if after it dies. It is not necessary that
the person catching it should be a Muslim and utter the name of Allah; but
if a dead locust is in the hand of a Kafir and it is clear whether it was
caught dead or alive, even if he says that it is caught alive, it is not
Halal; except when a person is sure about it or two Adil persons approve
it.
2769. To eat the locust which has not yet developed its wings and
cannot fly is Haraam.
