Is eating Kaleji a Sunnah?
Answer
In the riwayat of Bayhaqi it has been established that Nabi صلى الله عليه وسلم ate the kaleji from his Qurbani. It is Sunnah to eat from the Qurbani animal in general and the narration with respect to eating the liver is weak.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
