Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you, in the sea there are animals called amphibians.
The Shaykh : Amphibians, yes.
The questioner : They live in the sea and they live on land.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : So if we find them dead on land?
The Shaykh : It is forbidden. If it is of a type that is forbidden on land, the side of prohibition is given precedence. For this reason, the scholars said: an animal of the sea that does not live except in the sea.
The questioner : So if we find it dead in the sea?
The Shaykh: It is not permissible.
The questioner : It is not permissible?
The Shaykh : Yes, the side of prohibition is given precedence, unless there is no evidence for its prohibition, in which case the original ruling is permissibility. Yes?
