\n\tAnswered by <\/strong>Mufti Mohammed Tosir Miah<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tQuestion:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWhy are fish eaten without being slaughtered? Or why is it eaten even if dead<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswer:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\"Bismillah\"<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIt is permissible to consume fish without being slaughtered. This is because Allah \"sub\u1e25\u0101nahu has said in the Holy Quran<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t“Lawful to you is the pursuit of water game and its use for food for the benefit of yourselves and those who travel” (Surah Maaidah v.96)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFurthermore, Saaiduan Ibn Umar \"ra\u1e0dyAll\u0101hu relates that Allah’s Messenger \"\u1e63allall\u0101hu said: “Made lawful for you are the flesh of two dead animals and two types of blood. As for the two dead animals, they are the locust and the fish. And as for the two types of blood, they are the blood of the spleen and the liver.” (Musnad Ahmad, Sunan Ibn Majah &Sunan al-Daraqutni)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHowever, a fish that dies naturally without an external cause and begins to float on the water is considered Haram.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSaaiduna Jabir \"ra\u1e0dyAll\u0101hu narrates that Allah’s Messenger \"\u1e63allall\u0101hu said: “From what the sea casts out or leaves behind you may eat, but from what dies at sea and floats to the surface you may not eat.” (Sunan Abi Dawud & Sunan Ibn Majah)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOnly Allah Knows Best<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
