The Ruling on Eating the Jari from Sea Creatures
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The Shaykh’s daughter, may Allah preserve you, I read in one of the books of the Sunnah that there is a sea creature called the jari,
The Shaykh:
with a. Yes.
The questioner:
and that the people of the Sunnah and the community eat it, in opposition to the Jews, but I have not found a suitable definition for this creature, so what is your honorable opinion?
The Shaykh:
Among the sea creatures, all sea creatures, my brother, are lawful. Allah has made all sea creatures lawful, and this is by the consensus of the scholars, except for the things they excluded, such as the snake, the sea snake, and the crocodile, in which they differed. As for the majority of sea creatures, they are lawful, whether it is the one who says it is the jirbi or otherwise.
