How do we make fish Halal?
Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
مچھلی کے بارے میں اصل یہ ہے کہ اگر مچھلی کسی آفت سےمری تو حلال ہے اور اگر بغیر کسی آفت کے خود بخود پآنی کے اندر مرے تو حلال نہیں .
)ہدایہ ٤ / ٤٤٣ مکتبہ شرکیہ علمیہ(
If the fish died in water because of some external reason then it will be permissle to consume. However, if it died a natural death it will not be permissible to consume.
And Allah knows best
Wassalaamu `alaykum
