Q82: WHICH FISH ARE HALAL?

Q82: WHICH FISH ARE HALAL? What sort of fish is allowed to be eaten according to our Sheriat? A. Only the fish having scales is Halal in Shia Sheriat Q83: FISH BOUGHT FROM A NON-MUSLIM Can we eat fish bought from a Christian? A. The only condition for a fish (which has scales) to be edible is that it should die out of water. If it dies in water, it becomes Haram. Now, if you, or any other Muslim has seen it dying out of water it is Halal for you.

But if you find it dead, in possession of a non-Muslim then it is Haram, even if he says that it had died out of water. Q84: TINNED MEAT: Whether tinned meat of 'Halal' animals and chicken (but not slaughtered in accordance with our sheriat not halal) is permissible to eat? Does the rule change if you are not aware whether it was slaughtered in our way or not? A.

Tinned meat of halal animals and chicken which were not slaughtered in accordance with our sheriat, is not halal and not permissible to eat. You must be sure that it was slaughtered in Islamic way.

Q85: FAT OF SHEEP AND OXEN Please explain to me this verse:- "And unto those who were Jews forbade we every animal having undivided hoof, and of oxen and sheep forbide We unto them fat of both save what is upon their backs or the entrails or what is mixed with bones; this We recompensed them for their rebellion, and verily We are truthful". (Al-Anaam 1:47). Does this mean that the above is not to be owed any more, i.e. It was only for the Jews at the time? A.

Prophet Yakub (a.s.) had abstained from eating camel meat; and this continued in his clan. When Torah was given to Prophet Musa (as,), it confirmed this system for Bani Israel: They were allowed to eat "Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud among the beasts" By this definition; camel, ostrich etc. were forbidden to them as the do not have divided hoof. But in Islam, this restriction was lifted. This ayat refers to it is you have rightly understood.
