Answer :
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh We are Muqallideen and followers of Imaam Abu Hanifa (rahimahullah).We strictly adhere to his rulings and trust his Ilm (knowledge) for he was a great Muhaddith and a Faqeeh. At the same time we respect the rulings of the other Fuqahaa. The Hanafi school of thought permits the eating of fish only. The following Hadith is used to substantiate this: احلت لكم ميتتان.........السمك و الجراد “Two types of dead animals are made halaal for you: (1) the fish and (2) the locust” (Majma’ Al-Zawaaid, vol 1, pg 238, Al-Qudsi) From the above Hadith we understand that all carrion meat, whether of the land or sea are prohibited except the fish and locust. The exception specifically of fish serves as an indication that there is a difference in ruling between fish and other creatures of the sea. And Allah knows best Wassalam Ml. Talha Desai,
