The Crocodile: Is It Considered a Land Animal or a Sea Animal?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the crocodile considered a land animal or a sea animal?

The Shaykh:
No, it is a land animal, both land and sea. It enters the water and comes out onto the land. It is both land and sea. Yes.

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
It is not eaten for two reasons: first, the predominance of its burrowing nature, and second, because it is a predator.
