This hadith discusses the permissibility of eating meat from an animal that has moved after being slaughtered. According to the hadith narrated by Yahya ibn Said and related by Malik from Yahya ibn Said, Abu Murra asked Abu Hurayra about a sheep which was slaughtered and then part of it moved. He ordered him to eat it. Then he asked Zayd ibn Thabit about it and he said "Does a corpse move?" forbidding eating its meat. However, Malik said that if an animal is injured badly before being killed and blood flows from it but does not move then its meat can be eaten as long as its eyes blink when killed. This hadith teaches us that we should not be too strict in our interpretation of Islamic law but rather use common sense when making decisions regarding what is permissible or not permissible according to Islamic law.
