wasnt so sure 
Re: Seafood..

well u shud:chai:
Re: Seafood..
why should some land animals be haraam then
Re: Seafood..
y sum shud be halal??
Re: Seafood..
Not ALL seafood is halaal - fishes are fine. You can eat flounder, scrod, tuna, all the fishes of sea and stream. But bottom-feeders (shellfish) are haraam - clams, shrimp, lobster, crabs. Basically the same I think as Kosher rules.
I thought actually that Halaal foods and the rules came from the same set of rules as for Kosher. But there are rules like never mix meat and dairy in order to be kosher. Why is this not a rule for Halaal?
Re: Seafood..
all the sea food is halal mo3 even dead animals of sea r halal
and kosher rules r not apllied to us cuz we r simply not “jews”
we r muslims and our rules r different than “jews”
yeah sum r same but they r following old rules and we muslims r using new rules according to our prophet
end of story 
Re: Seafood..
The bottom feeders eat feces, I think this is what makes them haraam. I always thought so anyway but KB says that ALL seafood is fine…now I’m confuzzled.
update: ok I googled it and you’re right KB! All of the creatures of the sea are “generally” considered halaal but there is “some” debate on the status of shellfish. Woo-hoo! Lobster tonite anyone?!!
heres the link:

Re: Seafood..
oh they do???
i wonder y i can find every bottom feeder in all the restaurants here???
and ppl eat them and then go and pray in the mosque uff!!! !!! 
Re: Seafood..
NOTE: my question is NOT what is halal and wat is not or if all of them are halaal..
MY question is why is seafood halaal in general?
Re: Seafood..
ok I did a little more google-ing on this and from what I've read so far, they do not seem to eat feces. However, they DO eat carrion (dead flesh) and are also cannibals which could be of concern to some Islaamic scholars.
Brisbane, the link to wiki above explains where the laws governing halaal come from and why....

In short, the plural “fish” is used to describe more than one of the same species. The plural “fishes” is used to describe fish of varying species.
Re: Seafood..
ok ok BIB i got ur question
u mean that sum ppl say that we dont say takbeer for sea food and they dont even eat it just bcuz of that
they say we dont halal the fish and stuff so its not halal
bhai i think that we need to halal onlyland animals cuz they have alot of blood in them u need to take blood out of animals b4 eating them cuz blood is haram
thats y we slaughter them
u know the animals that r hunted have to be slaughtered b4 they die if they die b4 u slaughter them u cant eat them they r considered haram cuz blood remains in them b4 they were dead and dead animals r haram
but sea food doesnt have much of blood so it doesnt need to be taken out
i think thats y
only my theory i know many ppl can shed better light than me

and alot of sea animals eat dead things so .......................
dead of sea is halal for human so y not they can be halal for prawns and lobsters:@:
Though “fish”(plural) for describing different species is also correct.
