The Ruling on Eating Shark Meat

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, the shark devours with its teeth, so is it a predator like the crocodile?

Answer:
No, it is not forbidden; because Allah has permitted the hunting of sea creatures absolutely. They said, even the shark; they specified it, saying, even the shark, due to the generality of the verse.
