Is octopus meat halal?

Re: Is octopus meat halal?

Shellfish is makrooh.

Thanks, everyone!

not taking anything out of context, just stating that infact land animals that do eat other animals are halal and gave the example of a chicken. so there is more to it than just the statement. no argument here, just further elaboration so you and everyone else can think about it :)

secondly, if parasites are present in herbivores and then the herbivores are eaten by a carniovore and I eat the carnivore I get parasites, well I would get parasites by eating te herbivore as well since the herbivoe has parasites.

Now if the point is more about toxic buildup, then there can be a point, however in that case fish eat smaller fish and at each level the toxins build up and it is an issue.

just having a discussionm we can agree, we can disagree, we can debate issues, question..etc etc. No harm no foul mon ami :)

is octopus shellfish?

Re: Is octopus meat halal?

No .. when did I say that ..:p

I read that everything that does not look like a traditional fish is makrooh ...

... which actually makes Shark and Whale non makrooh (halal that is)

just confirming bhai jan :)

But people don't see that... All they actually want to prove is how "righteous" they themselves are. And thus are now resorting to word catching.

I seem to be the only one over here in this thread who addressed the real issue - Which was that as long as the original paster was unaware of what she was eating, she is not guilty of any sin.

Allah tau sirraf neeat daikhta hai, buss...

Did I or didn't I mention the toxicity in fish caught in the Bay of Bengal? :)

Re: Is octopus meat halal?

If in doubt, don't eat!!!! ...not too hard now, is it??!!

Not exactly true my friend.

A person has responsibility of knowing what he/she is eating. Not knowing is not an excuse.

Besides I already had mentioned liking/disliking (personal choice) is another issue.

Why do I see similarity in both red sentences? :)

Re: Is octopus meat halal?

There is one more aspect which I'm suprised no one has pointed out or may be I misread.

According to some confident Islamic resources, the sea creators which eat food with their legs are NOT halal... and as per that rule octopus may not be halal. I think they include shrimps in that as well cuz that was the discussion when I came to know about it.

I'm not that islamic to validate or invalidate this logic, just putting forward in case you want to know.

Re: Is octopus meat halal?

^Not questiong what you said but any source?

Not now as it was a serious verbal discussion that I'm referring to, but I can contact them back and ask for the source if you want.

It might be, cause that is pretty much the rule of thumb for birds and even for mammals.

Makroh aur Haram main kiya farq hai?

Re: Is octopus meat halal?

Mery khiyal main Dil manta hai tu khalo nahi manta tu na khao. Asal Islam Quran hai aur os main Khanzeer ke gosht se mana kiya giya hai baqi kisi janwar ko haram ya makrooh nahi kaha. Ab os ke bad ju fiqhi masail buzrgon ne apni pasand na pasand ki bina per banaey woh koi Allah k ahukam tu nahi. Jisey tora na jasaky magar yahan Allah kahukam torna jaiz bandey ka nahi sort–e-hal kuch aisi hi hai.
Like main Cat fish shoq se khati thi yahan a ker agar mujhy koi cheez pasand aai tu cat fish thi. Ab aik mulana ne kaha Cat Fish apna fuzla khati hai as Quran main soor ka gosht is liey mana hai key woh apna fuzla khata hai tu yehi bat Cat Fish per bhi sabit hoti hai. Ab yaqeen kero bachpan se sunti aai thi ke Pani ki (driya ya samundari ya nerhi) makhloqq halal hai zibah ki zarorat nahi magar yeh daleel sun ker ab cat fish ke naam se bhi ullti si aney lagi hai.
Ab halanky socho tu Ju daleel on sahib ne di janwaron aur insanon donon ka fuzla khad ke tor per bhi istymal hota hai:( Ab aisi ajns bhi na khao jahan yeh fuzla istymal howa os ko tu kehty hain yeh qudarti khad hai
So dil ki bat hai manta hy tu theek itna gehrai aur girai main kiya jana:chai:

Re: Is octopus meat halal?

Jo cheezein Allah nay or Rasool Pak nay jaiz or halal karar di un ka apnana, jin say mana kia gaya un say ruk jana or jin k baray mein koi hukam nai yani shak hai k jaiz ya halal hai ya nai un say door rehna hi behtar hai.

That is quite alright friend. When you have the answer do share. :)
