    Dear brother, this is regarding the lecture by Dr.ZakirNaik titled “Dietry Laws in Islam”, when I tried to heare audio quality of this lecture is unbearable. I think it is a technical problem, as the month Ramlan is nearing this subject is very important and brother Zakir is a scholar as well as a medical doctor, Lecture of this subject will be highly usefull to all who hear this. Looking forward for valuable informations. Abdul Azeez

      Assalaamualaikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuhu,
      All bony fish which are not carnivorous are halaal Since I do not know which part of the world you belong to then giving examples is not desirable. Cartilgenous fish is haraam. Fish with scales are halaal if they are bony and non- carnivorous.Whoever says- shark is halaal is wrong.

    Sister Shahina. The types of halal sea food depends on which Madhab you follow. There is a difference of opinion of what is “fish” between the different schools. The Hanafi definition of fish is more restricted than the Shafi’i one so for example Imam Abu Hanifa position was that prawns are not fish whereas Imam Shafi’i deemed that prawns were fish.

    Go to http://www.sunnipath.com for lists of what is allowed under Hanafi fiqh and a discussion of the madhab differences.

    By the way Dr Z Naik does not follow a madhab so please bear this in mind when he listening to his bayans.

      Assallam O Allaikum, dear Muslim friend, we are only allowed to eat haram if our life is threatened with hunger or if we are physically forced to do so, but in your case I had similar problems when I came back to Canada & halal meat wasn’t convenient for me right away so I kept eating lentils which are a great source of protein & highly nurtritious, & with some spices can be far better tasting than any meat, in the mean time pray to Allah that may He give you means of enjoying halal meat once again, like I did, & InshAllah very soon you shall find some way of obtaining halal meat, but I assure you, that InshAllah, lots of potato, lentils & other healthy and nutrisious dishes & alternatives will easily help you maintain a healthy weight level, InshAllah, Jazak Allah

    Zakir naik follows it as long it conforms to the Quran & authentic traditions, & it makes sense. This approach is not in contradiction to the teachings of Hanafi, Shafi, Malki or Humbli. You can follow any one of them as long as it follows the authentic hadeeth & the Quran.

    Islamic greetings,

    Brothers and sisters in Islam. I am living in Germany and having a problem of having halaal meat. Some people say, its not allowed to eat meat that is being sold here in super markeets but some says that its allowed. No doubt, Allah’s name was not there while slaughtering that particular animal but some one can say with the name of Allah while eating the meat.

    What is authentic and what is not?

      Assalamulaikum wr wb brother,

      If you can’t find halal meat. You can try finding kosher meat sold by the jews. We can eat that. Another idea is if you find any christian butcher who does slaughterings, you can tell him that if you mention the name of god when slaughtering, me and other muslims will buy meat from you.

      If you really can’t, then buy seafood.

      If you really can’t then try to only buy poultry from the supermarket because they normally don’t die before being slaughtered, and mention the name of Allah SWT. Finally, you can buy the other if it is too difficult and mention the name of Allah SWT.

      http://quran.com/6/118-119

      Allah SWT, does not make things hard for us, and Allah SWT knows best and may forgive me for any wrong advice I gave.

        Salaam,

        I appreciate you bringing focus to the fact that Allah makes it easy for us to be a muslim. Reading some of the contradictory comments above confused me about all the shark fins I saw being sold in Saudi super markets.

        Thank you kindly.

          Waalaikumussalaam wr wb,

          Although we have been prohibited to eat predators with fangs
          http://sunnah.com/search/fangs

          About sharks, from what I can deduce they are permissable. I would eat shark meat or drink shark fin soup. But I won’t go buy shark meat and make it because of the hadith above, just to be safe. But I would order it at a restaurant just not to make haram what Allah SWT has made halal.
          http://quran.com/5/96

          Although we shouldn’t have too much of shark (or anything for that matter) because shark might contain some level of mercury.
          http://water.epa.gov/scitech/swguidance/fishshellfish/outreach/advice_index.cfm

          Certain sea creatures which are already found dead like whale are permissable. As long as they are not hazardous.
          http://www.sunnah.com/urn/40540

          May Allah SWT forgive us for and from anything that I’ve said wrong.

            If you think about it, a large amount of fish in the sea are predatory and have fang-like teeth anyways. So why do people keep making an exception for the shark? Jaws 3?

            On second thought, I would buy shark meat if I wanted to. Allah SWT knows best.

            Assalamulaikum wr wb.

      Assalamualaikum wr wb br Samiullah,

      I will try my best to answer this Inshallah, but only Allah knows best and forgive me if I’m wrong and please also do some research.

      Everyone is responsible for what they do and they alone have to answer to Allah SWT. We can advice and tell them but in the end it is up to themselves. I agree with what you say, you advice is correct and you will be rewarded for your effort.

      In the end only Allah SWT knows their true circumstance and if they think that they have an answer to give to Allah SWT on the day of judgement for the meat they ate while there were so many other halal meat like fish they could eat for almost the same price; then they can continue eating it.

      Allah SWT is they most merciful and he might forgive them, but you will be rewarded even for the thought of abstaining from the meat for sure. We Muslims are allowed to even eat something haram like pig when there is nothing else to eat and we’re dying out of hunger. But I strongly feel this is not the right situation we are allowed to do that yet. I’m fairly positive any Muslim you ask will agree.

      One more thing br. just because you are trying to follow Allah SWT’s commandments, my heart is not calm until I tell you that riba, taking or paying interest is haram also. Just incase you didn’t know. Please research more about it and stay away from it. We are not in this dunia for long, it is not worth it.. akhirah is better. Here is a link to a lecture about prohibition of riba. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spPDccqW1ls

      Assalamulaikum wr wb, may Allah SWT reward you and forgive me for all mistakes :’(
