The ruling on catching fish prohibited by state law

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He also says that some fishermen catch fish that are prohibited by state law, knowing that they caught these fish unintentionally, and if they throw them back into the sea, they will spoil. Is it permissible for them to do so?

Answer:
If these fish are harmful to health or to life, it is not permissible to catch them. It is not permissible to catch anything that is harmful to health or to life, whether it causes death or causes disease. It is not permissible to catch them, neither for eating nor for selling. However, if the fish are sound, and the fish are sound, but the state has prohibited it, then this is a disobedience to the one in authority, and this is also not permissible. It is not permissible to disobey the one in authority in this matter.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
