Fishing with electricity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Questions six and seven from Fatwa number ( 9061 )
Q 6, 7: A man is a fisherman, and before he puts the net in the water, he puts an electrified basket in the water, so the water becomes electrified, the fish get electrocuted and die, and he catches them . Is this forbidden or permissible, and what is the ruling on eating it? Likewise, a man puts an explosive substance in the sea water that explodes inside the water, and the fish die from the intensity of the pressure. What is the ruling of the Shari'ah?
A 6, 7: It is permissible, and it is permissible to eat from it, as long as there is no harm to anyone. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
