Hence, one has to revert to Ahadith, which provide details, as Holy Verse 6:119 points out, regarding the permissibility of the meat of the species living on land, in the sea, and how to distinguish and classify amphibians (species living on land and in sea)! [10] Introduction: In this article, we will review some Holy Verses and Ahadith interpreting Verses on the permissible meat of species living on the land and in the sea.
The foremost is the intake of meat from the permissible (Halal): The Permissible Food: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ كُلُوا مِمَّا فِي الْأَرْضِ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُبِينٌ {168} O you people!
Eat from what is in the earth, lawful, good , and do not follow the footsteps of Satan; he, for you all, is a Clarified enemy [2:168] إِنَّمَا يَأْمُرُكُمْ بِالسُّوءِ وَالْفَحْشَاءِ وَأَنْ تَقُولُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ {169} But rather, he is instructing you with the evil and the immoralities, and that you should be saying against Allah what you do not know [2:169] الشيخ في (التهذيب): بإسناده عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن أبي خالد الكوفي، رفعه، عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام)، قال Al Sheykh in Al Tahzeeb, by his chain from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Abu Khalid Al Kufy, raising it, from Abu Ja’far -asws having said: قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و آله): العبادة سبعون جزءا أفضلها طلب الحلال ‘Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘The worship has seventy parts, and the most superior of it is the seeking of the Permissible (Halal) ’.
[11] قَالَ الْإِمَامُ ع قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: يا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ- كُلُوا مِمَّا فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْ أَنْوَاعِ ثِمَارِهَا وَ أَطْعِمَتِهَا حَلالًا طَيِّباً لَكُمْ- إِذَا أَطَعْتُمْ رَبَّكُمْ فِي تَعْظِيمِ مَنْ عَظَّمَهُ، وَ الِاسْتِخْفَافِ بِمَنْ أَهَانَهُ وَ صَغَّرَهُ The Imam (Hassan Al Askari -asws ) said: ‘Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: O you people!
Eat from what is in the earth – from the varieties of its fruits and its foods , lawful, good – for you all when your Lord -azwj Feeds you, in reverence of the one He -azwj Magnifies, and taking lightly with the one He -azwj Humiliates and Belittles (an extract).
