(Book 54, Hadith 11) #36820
Eating Lizards According to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did not eat lizards, but he also did not forbid them.

Malik related to me from Abdullah ibn Dinar from Abdullah ibn Umar that a man called the Messenger of Allah and said, "Messenger of Allah, what do you think about lizards?" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "I do not eat them, and I do not forbid them".
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، نَادَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا تَرَى فِي الضَّبِّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لَسْتُ بِآكِلِهِ وَلاَ بِمُحَرِّمِهِ
