Is Eating Animal Lungs Halal?

Q: Would it be permissible to eat lungs (kalaiji) of any halal animal? (Actually one of my friends is baralvi he told me that it is makrooh e tehrimi and should not be eaten)

Bismillaah

A: Yes.

عن ابن بريدة، عن أبيه، قال: ” كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا كان يوم الفطر لم يخرج حتى يأكل شيئا , وإذا كان الأضحى لم يأكل شيئا حتى يرجع , وكان إذا رجع أكل من كبد أضحيته (سنن الكبرى للبيهقي رقم 6381)
