those are sea slugs, not land slugs.

But true, non-muslims chinese eat anything and evertyhing.
(I emphasise the word "non-muslim" because china has pretty big muslim populations, around 30 millions plus I think)

Actually here it is cleaned, seasoned and dried, and deep fried. the taste is savoury, nothing like peanut butter.
Maybe there are other preparations that make it taste like peanut butter.

Actually I think it was grubs that are said to taste like peanut butter. I saw people eating them on the discovery channel.

@ naidamar

I don't think I could eat that...it looks diseased. +o(

 

[ApakalypsE]

Grub worms are actually tasty more of a flavor like a nut,have also eaten grasshoppers and locustss as well.I had to eat them for survival traaining in the army.I am glad i got out in 1998.Even before I reverted to Islam I was not a supporter of these wars.I love freedom but freedom at the price of someones elses opression is tyranny and no real freedom at al.Asallaam Alaykum

how can you get 1 in your hair ?:hmm:

We were playing a game in a wood during the night and I was hiding down this bank and apparently ther were a lot of slugs about because one of them got onto me coat sleeve too. Then when we got back inside I noticed one in my hair.

assalamu alaikum,
Some people in different countries around the globe find snails and slugs a delicace...

Snails and slugs are of two types: one is Sea type other is the land type...

Sea snails are halal to eat:

“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]

al-Bukhaari narrated from Shurayh, the companion of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), that he said: “Everything in the sea is madhbooh (slaughtered).”

Majority of scholars have ruled Land snails and slugs Haram as they come under the categorie of "insects and vermon"

while the minority have said it is halal because it comes under the same rulings as locusts...

To what i understand they have based their rulings on what type of creature it is and slaughtering.

Personally i would put the creature back to its natural habitat and find a more suitable alternative to eat

Mind you slugs could be full of Protein...

Wa' alaikumsalam

I never ate land snail because Ulama in my place forbid it. But sometime I ate "tutut", small water snail that live in rice fields, and Ulama never forbid.

Need toothpick to take the "tutut" meat out.

What makes it worse is the green sauce... :x

al-Bukhaari narrated from Shurayh, the companion of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), that he said: “Everything in the sea is madhbooh (slaughtered).”

It depends on what school of thought you follow

so that means octopus and squid are halal right...someone told me they were not.

If you follow strictly imam abu hanifa's position, then they are makrooh, but the other three imams (syafii, ahmad malik, hambal) said they are halal.

Here's fatwa from islamqa:

http://www.islamqa.com/en/ref/1919/crab

Are there any types of seafood that Muslims are not permitted to eat?
Please forgive me for my ignorance in this matter. I am very interested in learning the ways of Islam. My question concerns dietary rulings. What types of fish and seafood are permissible?
Thank you for your help.

Praise be to Allaah.

Among the blessings that Allaah has bestowed upon us is the fact that He has made our religion easy for us, and has not made it too difficult or unbearable. He has allowed us many things that were forbidden according to previously-revealed laws. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “… Allaah intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you…” [al-Baqarah 2:185].

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 said: “ Sayduhu (lit. hunting, pursuit) refers to whatever is taken from it alive, and ta’aamuhu (lit. its food) means whatever is taken dead.”

There are a few things – certain types of water animals – which some scholars exclude from the permission outlined above. These are:

Crocodiles. The correct view is that eating these is not allowed, because they have fangs and live on land – even though they may spend a lot of time in the water – so precedence should be given to the reason for forbidding it (it is a land animal that has fangs).

Frogs. It is not permitted to eat them because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade killing them, as is reported in the hadeeth of ‘Abd al-Rahmaan ibn ‘Uthmaan, who said that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade the killing of frogs. (Narrated by Imaam Ahmad and Ibn Maajah; see also Saheeh al-Jaami, 6970). The rule is that everything which we are forbidden to kill, we are not allowed to eat; if we are allowed to eat it we are allowed to kill it.

Some scholars exclude sea snakes, but the correct view is that as they live nowhere except in the water, we are permitted to eat them, because of the general nature of the aayah (interpretation of the meaning): “Lawful to you is (the pursuit of) water-game and its use for food – for the benefit of yourselves …” [al-Maa’idah 5:96].

Otters and turtles. The correct view is that to be on the safe side, it is permissible to eat them after slaughtering them properly, because they live both on land and in the sea. Here the rule is that in the case of animals that live both on land and in the sea, the rules concerning land animals should be given precedence, to be on the safe side, so they must be slaughtered properly, except for crabs which do not need to be slaughtered, even though they live both on land and in the sea, because they do not have blood.

Everything that can cause harm is forbidden as food, even if it comes from the sea, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “… And do not kill yourselves (nor kill one another). Surely, Allaah is Most Merciful to you.” [al-Nisa’ 4:29] and: “… and do not throw yourselves into destruction…” [al-Baqarah 2:195].

(See al-Mughni, 11/83; Haashiyah al-Rawd, 7/430; Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 3/197; and Ahkaam al-At’imah by al-Fawzaan).

And Allaah knows best.

Hey, this is my thread about my slug, go away, make your own thread!

So, what is your slug name ?.

 

[sherz_umr]

i ws just wondering..isnt it enough to eat vegetables,fruits,fish that looks like fish(meaning not dolphins,sharks,whales and such),chicken,mutton and beef? Human beings are killing and eating so many animals..isnt that enough?
Just my opinion..

 

[Amoeba]

Crocodiles. The correct view is that eating these is not allowed, because they have fangs and live on land – even though they may spend a lot of time in the water – so precedence should be given to the reason for forbidding it (it is a land animal that has fangs).

Otters and turtles. The correct view is that to be on the safe side, it is permissible to eat them after slaughtering them properly, because they live both on land and in the sea. Here the rule is that in the case of animals that live both on land and in the sea, the rules concerning land animals should be given precedence, to be on the safe side, so they must be slaughtered properly, except for crabs which do not need to be slaughtered, even though they live both on land and in the sea, because they do not have blood.

Um, sorry to go off-topic but I'm confused about this. Otters have sharp pointy canines (some would say fangs) and live on land as well as the water, how does this make them different from crocodiles on this issue?

you are correct.

Maybe it's because crocodiles are reptiles and have fangs, while otters are mammals.
Snakes, which are reptiles and have fangs are also haraam to eat.
Or maybe because crocodiles are very savage animals (there is a hadith that says savage animals are forbidden to eat) that would kill and eat humans given opportunity, while otters are not savage.
or maybe it's a combination of all those things.

 

[Ra_bia]

Why would you even consider eating a slug! Its better you leave it in its natural habitat. Leaving it in your lawn would be more convenient.

 

[S.Belle]

Frogs. It is not permitted to eat them because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade killing them, as is reported in the hadeeth of ‘Abd al-Rahmaan ibn ‘Uthmaan, who said that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade the killing of frogs. (Narrated by Imaam Ahmad and Ibn Maajah; see also Saheeh al-Jaami, 6970). The rule is that everything which we are forbidden to kill, we are not allowed to eat; if we are allowed to eat it we are allowed to kill it.

OH goodness i have eaten this b4...very yummy
