Hi, I was wondering if there is any Quranic Verses that counters the notion of Fish being Haram because most of the people do not slaughter it when they fish them out of water? thus making them die from strangulation? Also, since they are not Slaughtered, The Name of God is not mentioned during the time they died. What do you think?

are you ready to give up on your favourite seafood? or any other kinds of food? since in the food industry today, most of the food will come with some form of fish ingredient. Either to help with it's coloring or taste,etc..  :muscle:

*Edit* I know there is an old thread regarding this. But I wanted to know if there is a verse that actually allowed fishes/seafood to be eaten without slaughter or the name of God being mentioned upon the time of it's death.

Hello,


[16:14]
"And it is He who subjected the sea for you to eat from it tender meat and to extract from it ornaments which you wear. And you see the ships plowing through it, and [He subjected it] that you may seek of His bounty; and perhaps you will be grateful"

Another translation:

"And He committed the sea to serve you; you eat from it tender meat, and extract jewelry which you wear. And you see the ships roaming it for your commercial benefits, as you seek His bounties, that you may be appreciative"

There is another verse which is talking about eating seafood is Halal, but the context of the verse is in "Hurom or Ihram". Since i don't have an approximate definition of the term "Hurom or Ihram" i can't use that verse for quotation.

Even meat should not be slaughtered by the traditional Islamic way. As far as i know, there is no any Quranic verse about this way in slaughter.

Bah. Make everything "haraam" instead and die. The flesh is evil so stop breathing because it contains oxygen, carbon dioxide and all other sorts of particles flying around and die from suffocation.

The flesh is just concealed energy, live and get over it. Some foods are less suitable for consumption due to design preferences and pig meat is among that slow to digest and high similarity to human DNA so it is like cannibalism to eat it. And blood lacks nutrition.

And remember you become what you eat. The pig consumes basically anything even humans. Murderers have even used pigs to dispose of corpses.
