Are Muslims allowed to eat turtle meat since they live in sea water and land also?
Answer :
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
According to Shariah, it is not permissible for one to consume reptiles.[1] A turtle is a reptile from the Order Chellonnii or Testudines.[2] Therefore, it will be impermissible for one to consume turtle meat.
