The ruling on the ritual slaughter of fish taken from the sea while alive

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If a fish is taken from the sea while alive, is it obligatory to perform its ritual slaughter?

The Shaykh:
No, and no one performs the ritual slaughter of fish. It dies by its nature; it dies when it is taken out. Yes.

The questioner:
Even if a non-Muslim who is not from the People of the Book slaughters it, it is permissible for him to slaughter it.

The Shaykh:
It is not a place where ritual slaughter is required, whether a disbeliever slaughters it or someone else; it is lawful. Yes.
