Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on eating shark meat? And does everything in the sea have the same ruling?
Answer:
It appears to be permissible.[Al-Ma'idah 5:96] This is general for everything that lives in the sea; everything that lives in the sea is permissible. It is permissible, [Al-Ma'idah 5:96]; its food is what dies in it, namely the fish and animals. The generality of Allah’s wording necessitates that everything that does not live except in the sea is permissible. Yes.
