Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: As for birds whose food and sustenance come from the sea, are they considered sea game, and is it permissible for a person in ihram to hunt them?

Answer:
Sea game, my brother, is what lives in the sea.
game from the land asصَيْدُ الْبَرِّ مَا
[Al-Ma'idah 5:96]
It lives on land. So if it lives in the sea, it is sea game; if it lives on land, it is land game. Yes.
