The questioner : Regarding the chapter on locusts, the original ruling in the book of foods by Shaykh 'A'idh al-Qarni, he stated that most scholars said that the original ruling for locusts is that they are from the sea. What is the validity of this?
The Shaykh : By Allah, it is not known. Some scholars said that it is generated from the foam that the sea throws up, generated in the same way that flies and others are generated. Some others said it is a rot in a fish from which this thing comes out. Allah knows best, Allah knows best about it. Yes, this is correct. I think it is narrated from Ka'b al-Ahbar.
The student: Ibn Hajar mentioned it and said that it is weak.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is right.
