Wonders of Fish - Interesting Questions & Answers

How about eating prawns?

Question: How is it to eat prawns?

Answer: There is a difference of opinion among the Islamic scholars, which is why their urmat (i.e., being alāl orarām) is still in question. To those who consider prawns as a species of fish. They take it as alāl, and those who do not accept it as a type of fish – it is arām for them.

According to the research done by A’lā arat, Imām-e-Aĥl-e-Sunnat, Maulānā Shāĥ Imām Amad Razā Khān عَـلَيْهِ رَحْمَةُ الـرَّحْمٰن prawn is a species of the fish family, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه therefore said, ‘In our Mażĥab, i.e., anafī school of thought, every aquatic animal is arām except the fish. Hence, as per those research scholars who consider prawns to not belong to the fish family, in fact, prawns should be arām for them. But after intensive research, going through the dictionaries, medical books of and medicines, and the books of zoology (the branch of biology that deals with the study of animals), I have confirmed that prawns are regarded as fish.’

After presenting many references from different sources in favour of prawns as fish, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said in the end, ‘After all, there are many differences and suspicions about prawns, whether it is a fish or not – one should therefore avoid eating it.’
