Is the meat of a horse halal?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Fatwa.org.au
Is the meat of a horse halal?

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

The meat of a horse is makrooh tanzeehi. In other words, although it is permissible to eat horse meat, it is better not to.
