Eating snake so that one will not be bitten

Question: 10951

What is the ruling on eating snake so that one will not be bitten?

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah:

That is not permitted. The person who grills a snake then eats it has obeyed the Shaytaan. There is something in it which is inherently devilish and something which is connected to the shaytaateen (devils); it is a like riding beast for them or something like that. Whoever mixes its flesh with his flesh [by eating it] should be avoided because of that.
