Hey. Quote:
Hence all kinds of food from the sea are permissible, whether they are plants or animals, alive or dead. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Lawful to you is (the pursuit of) water-game and its use for food – for the benefit of yourselves and those who travel…” [al-Maa’idah 5:96].
Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah Almighty be pleased with him) said: “ Sayduhu [in arabic] (lit. hunting, pursuit) refers to whatever is taken from it alive, and ta’aamuhu [in arabic] (lit. its food) means whatever is taken dead.”
