[7] Imam -asws forbids all creatures of the Sea except for the ones with scales: وَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: لَا يُؤْكَلُ مِنْ دَوَابِّ الْبَحْرِ إِلَّا مَا كَانَ لَهُ قِشْرٌ وَ كَرِهَ السُّلَحْفَاةَ وَ السَّرَطَانَ وَ الْجِرِّيَّ وَ مَا كَانَ فِي الْأَصْدَافِ وَ مَا جَانَسَ ذَلِكَ.
And from Ja’far -asws Bin Muhammad -asws having said: ‘Do not eat from the creatures of the sea except what has scales for it’, and he -asws disliked the turtle, and the crab, and the eel, and whatever was in the shell, and what was the species of that’’.
(The books) ‘Qurb Al Asnaad’, and ‘Kitab Al Masaail’ – By their chains, ‘From Ali son of Ja’far -asws , from his brother -asws Musa -asws , he said, ‘I asked him -asws about eating the turtle, and the crab, and the eel , ‘Is it Permissible to eat it?’’ He -asws said: ‘No, it is not Permissible to eat the turtle, and the crab, and the eel’’.
[9] The floating fish (Dead fish even with scales) is forbidden to eat: فِقْهُ الرِّضَا، قَالَ ع إِنْ وَجَدْتَ سَمَكَةً وَ لَمْ تَدْرِ أَ ذَكِيٌّ هُوَ أَمْ غَيْرُ ذَكِيٍّ وَ ذَكَاتُهُ أَنْ يُخْرَجَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ حَيّاً فَخُذْ مِنْهُ وَ اطْرَحْهُ فِي الْمَاءِ فَإِنْ طَفَا عَلَى رَأْسِ الْمَاءِ مُسْتَلْقِياً عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ فَهُوَ غَيْرُ ذَكِيٍّ وَ إِنْ كَانَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَهُوَ ذَكِيٌ.
(The book) ‘Fiqh Al-Reza -asws ’ – He -asws said: ‘If you find a fish and you do not know whether it is pure or impure, and its purity is being extracted from the water alive, so take from it and drop it in the water. If it floats upon the surface of the water, lying upon its back, it is impure, and if it was upon its face, it is pure’’.
