Assalamualaikum,

Brother, Is Ghodphod (people eat it for sexual strength, looks like a long lizard/reptile) Haraam or Halaal in Islam? I know you as a person who provides a reference for every answer and I would appreciate the same in this answer as well. Jazakallah.

Walaikum salam,

It is not allowed in Islam to eat reptiles. So if "Ghodphod" is a kind of reptile as you have mentioned here-it is haram.

Ghodpod is neither haraam nor halal its makru. Once when Mohammed SAW and his people after their was were very hungry and his people walked up to him with a ghodphod and asked if they can eat it and huzoor looked at it and just turned without answering the question because if he would answer ghodphod would become halal for future generations and if he said no back then his people would die of hunger hence it is considered makru therfore if someone wants to eat it they'll have to make a hen eat ghodphod kheema and then eat the chicken.

Bukhari :: Book 7 :: Volume 65 :: Hadith 303
Narrated Khalid bin Al-Walid:

That he went with Allah's Apostle to the house of Maimuna, who was his and Ibn 'Abbas' aunt. He found with her a roasted mastigure which her sister Hufaida bint Al-Harith had brought from Najd. Maimuna presented the mastigure before Allah's Apostle who rarely started eating any (unfamiliar) food before it was described and named for him. (But that time) Allah's Apostle stretched his hand towards the (meat of the) mastigure whereupon a lady from among those who were present, said, "You should inform Allah's Apostle of what you have presented to him. O Allah's Apostle! It is the meat of a mastigure." (On learning that) Allah's Apostle withdrew his hand from the meat of the mastigure. Khalid bin Al-Walid said, "O Allah's Apostle! Is this unlawful to eat?" Allah's Apostle replied, "No, but it is not found in the land of my people, so I do not like it." Khalid said, "Then I pulled the mastigure (meat) towards me and ate it while Allah's Apostle was looking at me.
