Can postpartum meat be eaten?

Regarding whether postpartum animal meat can be eaten, the general Islamic jurisprudence view is:
There is no religious objection to slaughtering permitted animals like sheep, goats, and cattle during the postpartum period and consuming their meat. There is no authentic hadith or Quranic verse prohibiting the consumption of such meat.
However, in some regional traditions, it is thought that postpartum animal meat might be 'heavy' or 'tough.' This is purely a culinary matter, not a religious ruling.
For a detailed religious ruling, I recommend consulting an Islamic scholar or the Directorate of Religious Affairs' fatwa department.
