Appendix I: Additional Ahadith in the interpretation of Holy Verse 5:3 Appendix II: Permissible for you are (all from) the good things 5:4 Appendix III: Ahadith on Sacrificial Animals Seafood – Not All is Permissible Download PDF Summary: Many Muslims believe that all forms of seafood are permissible, citing the following Holy Verses of the Quran: “ Lawful to you is the game from the sea and its food as provision for you and the travellers…5:96 ” and “ And it is He who subjected the sea for you to eat from it, the tender meat and to extract from it ornaments which you wear.16:14 .” Before we turn to the Holy Quran and Ahadith, we first look at the scientific evidence regarding some of the highly harmful aquatic species which must not be eaten, e.g., Certain fish—groupers, barracudas, moray eel, sturgeon, sea bass, red snapper, amberjack, mackerel, parrot fish, surgeonfish, and triggerfish—can cause ciguatera fish poisoning .

[1] The CDC recommends never eating moray eel or barracuda. Other types of fish that may contain the toxin at unpredictable times include sea bass and a wide range of tropical reef and warm-water fish. [2] It is important, before interpreting the Holy Verses, to note that the Words of Allah -azwj are unlike the speech of people [3] – the role of Rasool Allah -saww has been to explain and demonstrate the Instruction of Allah ‑azwj as Revealed in the Verses.

For example, the times of Salat mentioned in Holy Quran are three to four times daily and nowhere in the Quran are we instructed to offer Salat five times in the way that we do pray e.g., (20:130, 17:78,11:114). The five times of the Salat are therefore from the Commands of Allah -azwj as implemented by the traditions of Rasool Allah -saww .
