Re: Seafood - Crab/Lobster Halal?
I see we've gone off on a tangent...I still don't have answer to my question guys.
The fact of the matter is that the Quran is very specific when it comes to al-Haraam... According to 5:3, Pig-meat is prohibited for consumption purposes, and something that is sacreficed to an idol. Also forbidden for consumption is blood, and meat from an already dead carcus, or anything that has fallen or is beaten to death, or an animal half-eaten by another animal predator. Beyond that there is NO restriction/Haraam in the Quran.
So you can keep following interpretation of those to whom these so-called schools of thought are attributed, or you follow what has been made clear to you in the Quran.
