is crab meat halal?

Re: is crab meat halal?

@Anwaar Qureshi

Please, help me understand where in above ayaah, it is mentioned that sea food species are halaal if they do not have blood in their vessels? Give me a reference from Quran on that condition… Only Quran please

Coming back to the question… Crab meat is halaal in all four school of thoughts but according to Imam Abu Hanifa:rehm:, it also falls under the category of shrimps which are considered “makrooh” in his fiqh. Please, note that Makrooh is not equal to haraam… Makrooh only means that if you feel disgusted with it, it is highly recommended to avoid it but consumable otherwise.

That’s my understanding as well.
