Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 894/817/M=8/1439)

By ‘mussels’ if you mean the shell insect which is known as ghongha in Hindi then it is not halal to eat it according to Hanafi Fiqh as only fish is halal among the sea animals, whereas the seashell is an insect.

Q. By the grace of almighty allah, I am living in the United States and persuing higher education here.

But as per the sayings in the quran and the sahee hadeeth, all things of Ehlea-Kitaab (people of the book) is jaayaz for you. So can i eat the non-veg (chicken & Beef) by saying bismillah. I have not yet eaten any meat (chicken & beef), due to the fear of my loosing the faith, and thinking its haram, without any evidence or proof. Please do let me know if it is permissible to eat. 2056 views
