Question
Which sea food other than fish is halaal as per Imaam –e – Azaam Abu Hanifa Rahmatullahi Aliah? Please also tell the exact distance in KM for salaat to be Qasr?
Answer
1. According to Imaam Abu Hanifa [ra], only fish from the sea is permissible.
2. If a person undertakes a journey of 78km or more, he will be a Musaafir. The calculation will be from the border of one’s town to the border of a town of one’s destination.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
