Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 316/313=M)

Crab is not allowed to consume; since it is not fish. While, the ruling over lobster (Jhinga) is differed and the difference is based on the ground whether it is a fish or not. So, if it is definitely a fish then it is allowed, otherwise not: لقولہ علیہ السلام: احلت لنا المیتتان: السمک والجراد
