Locust meat is hot and dry and not very nutritious. In addition, eating locust meat regularly makes the body thin, emaciated. The smoke of burnt locust helps in cases of dysuria (impaired ability to pass urine), especially for women, and is favorable for hemorrhoids. Eating fat wingless locust roasted is a good cure for scorpion stings. In addition, locust meat is not favorable for those suffering from epilepsy and produces septic mixtures in the stomach.
There is a difference on allowing eating locust when it is dead, where the majority of the scholars except Malik allow it. Yet, there is no difference that it is
allowed if the locust died because of a reason, such as being burnt or pressed.
It is not good for the health to eat meat on a regular basis because it causes bloody sanguincous illnesses and various types of allergies, Hippocrates once said, "Do not turn your stomachs to a graveyard for animals."
