Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: There are fish called ornamental fish, which are kept in a tank and sold along with the tank. Is it permissible to sell such fish?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it, provided they are in a secured place where they can be controlled. The issue here is gharar (excessive uncertainty in a contract) and ignorance. However, if they are secured in a place where they can be controlled and taken, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
