Question:
Riding the sea for recreation?
Answer:
I am not aware of anything wrong with it, provided it is in a sound vessel that poses no danger, just like recreation on land.
Q: Is sea carrion lawful in all cases, meaning generally?
A: Yes, the correct view is that it is generally lawful. Some scholars said that if a species is forbidden on land, its carrion is likewise forbidden in the sea. However, the apparent meaning of the Qur'an and the Sunnah is that everything in the sea is lawful for us, whether alive or dead.
Q: What about what lives on both land and sea?
A: What lives on both land and sea is ruled according to the ruling for land.
