The Ruling on Eating Crocodile Meat

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to eat crocodile meat?

Answer:
You are fond of crocodiles. They say the crocodile is an amphibian. Some people eat it because the ruling of water predominates, while some forbid it because the ruling of land predominates. Yes.
