Re: Seafood - Crab/Lobster Halal?

@tariqlkhan

The simplest definition is that one that uses the beak to pick food is halal. The one that uses the claws to do that is not. That rules out eagles, Crows and what not (I think that you knew that. It almost looks like that you are leading me into a trap, here. What is the agenda here Cheetah Sahib? :halo: )

Could you provide some Quranic or Hadeeth referrence to this statement? What I had been taught was that all birds of prey, apart from some birds (halal for unknown reasons), and all animals that are carnivores are haraam.
There is no trap or agenda - just trying to clarify the matter
