Shellfish, haram or not? عبد الله 02/29/16 (Mon) 10:07:08 f39c33 No.11270

Are shellfish haram or halal? I've honestly heard different things about this, one is that everything in the sea is halal, and the other is that shellfish are haram because we still follow all Jewish dietary laws.

The reasoning behind pigs, dogs, ect. being haram is basically because they are nature's garbage disposals and they eat anything including the trashiest stuff out there (more then they can filter out of their bodies) so they end up having lots of toxins in their meat and are more likely to have worms and diseases then other animals.

If we look at shellfish they also seem to eat a lot of trash (crabs basically eat trash off the sea floor right?), but it is also harder to tell for some shellfish exactly what they eat or do.

What have you guys heard about all this, and what are your opinions?

Lawful to you is game from the sea and its food as provision for you and the travelers, but forbidden to you is game from the land as long as you are in the state of ihram. And fear Allah to whom you will be gathered. [5:96]

Another issue about this is sometimes shellfish crawl onto land.

True, but they're not "from" the land.

Intoxicants are still haram.

How has God cleansed alcohol? Our bodies treat it like a poison and have trouble filtering it out.

salam. You know i was actually coming on here to express my opinions on this cause of a can of cheese, the spray spread stuff. How can we as muslims be so ready just to say this or that is haram?? I mean whats haram is haram but when someone is saying this soda or this ice cream or cheese or cake or cookie i think we are reading way to far between the lines.

Well a lot of stuff that has gelitain in it is made with pig fat.

> Doesn't that make us haram?

For consumption, yes. We don't eat people.

Pigs are dirty because the World Health Organization said they were, they also said pig meat was more likely to cause cancer. Plus its not just dirt that makes them haram (although I'm sure eating humans would be haram too), pigs are known to eat poop, rotting stuff, decaying animals, and even cancerous tumors off other pigs, all on a regular basis.

عبد الله 03/06/16 (Sun) 22:32:08 92834a No.11350

(Continued) but the most important reason we don't eat pigs is because Allah told us not to and being our creator he knows what is best for us.
