[quote]Good. Now back to the original question. Most fish we eat, they ambush, hunt and rip apart their prey of smaller fish to eat it. So according to your answer, we cannot eat most fish, including shark, tuna, salmon, cod, herring, etc. because they are carnivores. In fact I cannot think of any fish that eats just sea weeds. Great, now we can't eat any fish! Your rationale of 'natural prohibition' is not really based on your own judgement because what you are doing is relying on the Sunnah to know what is 'natural'. The examples you quoted of homosexuality, nail clipping, circumcision, tatoos, all these things are told to us by the prophet (s.a.w.). Here you are not using your own intellect to define what is natural and what is not. You come to a dead end when you try to use your own intellect to determine what is so called 'natural'. The prophet is already reported to have allowed the beached whale to be eaten, and the Quran has stated all sea-hunt is allowed. If there were any restrictions to it, we would have been told of them, like we have been told so about land animals (swine, blood, carrion, name of Allah). And we would have something from sunnah (like rules on donkey, horse, lizard, etc). Since the 2 sources of Islamic law are open on the issue of sea-food, there is no reason to make something haram on us that we can benefit from. When Allah is gracious to us, Allah is silent on an issue. So benefit from His graciousness, rather than imposing restrictions and denying your-self His bounties.[/quote]
