[quote]بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم

Assalam alaikum,

I and Junaid were having this discussion whether or not shark meat is halal.

I believe all hunts of the sea are halal based on the verse:

5.96: Lawful to you is the game of the sea and its food, a provision for you and for the travellers, and the game of the land is forbidden to you so long as you are on pilgrimage, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, to Whom you shall be gathered.

My argument is, since the verses in above paragraph are about pilgrimage and since any sea-hunt is allowed during pligrimage, why would any sea-hunt not be allowed at other times. If something is pure and halal during pilgrimage, it must be pure and halal and other times. On the contrary if something is not that pure but allowed at other times, it may not be allowed during pilgrimage (like killing insects).

Also there is no clear cut verse saying certain sea-foods are not allowed.

So I believe we should benefit from the generosity of Allah-taala and eat what ever good foods the sea has to offer us.[/quote]
