Understanding Tayyibat, Khabaees And Darindagi In The Context Of Dietary Matters
What exactly do words like Tayib, Khabees, Darinda, etc. mean with respect to animals? How do I decide whether an animal is a Darinda?
Does Darinda just mean carnivore?
What about seafood? Is the same principle of Tayibat and Khaba’is/Darinde applied? How is a sea animal/fish classified between Tayib and Khabees/Darinda?

As far as Dietary prohibitions are concerned, it works on the principle of Taiyyabaat and Khabaais (Quran 7:157 and 2:172-173).
Khabaais:
i) Dietary objects (including animals) from which our nature feels extreme repulsion.
ii) For animals specifically, Quran has cleared Taiyyabaat with word ‘Bahimatul-Anam’ (Quran 5:1, 22:34 and 22:28), meaning the cattle specie, which makes the differentiation more clear i.e. it is the ‘Beastly (Darindagi)‘ and ‘Non-Beastly‘ nature which are the most distinguishing factors. Beastly Nature refers to the beastly way of eating by an animal (cheer phar kai khana) and it applies equally to sea animals e.g. shark and to the land animals e.g. lion.
Then there are animals in between this category which could be predatory but not actually beastly in nature, which could put them in the grey area. There is also a category which is neither predatory nor beastly in nature like horse, donkey etc. but also falls in the same grey area. This is the Mushtabihaat category.
