The Ruling on the Carrion of Fish in Other Than the Sea and the Ruling on Amphibians
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): (The sea is pure, its water is pure, and its carrion is lawful) Is the carrion of fish in a river, pond, or pool pure? And what is the ruling on amphibians?
The statement of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding ablution with sea water: (It is pure, its water is pure, and its carrion is lawful) includes all carrion of water; anything that does not live except in water, its carrion is pure. This is the apparent meaning, whether it is in a pool, a river, a pond, or otherwise. Anything that lives in water, its carrion is pure.
The questioner: The amphibian?The Shaykh: As for that which lives on land and in the sea, its ritual slaughter is obligatory.
