Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1164/1055/M=9/1439)

According to Hanafi Fiqh, crab is unlawful, so it is mandatory to avoid drinking its soup. There is difference of opinion about prawn. However, it is better to avoid eating prawn and drinking its soup. Consult any hakim or doctor for the treatment of your disease. If halal and lawful medicine is available to cure the said problem then you should not use the said soups.

Q. I am working in a Maharashtra state government office where giving bribes( Rishwat) is not a new thing. But I do not accept it. Annually I pay @ ( 20%of my annual income)Rs.35000 as Income Tax and approximately Rs.25,000 as Zakat. This total sum is a bit big amount for me. My question is Can I ask the person giving me bribe to pay my Income Tax as I think income tax taken from us is unislamic. It is taken deliberately from us. As in some Islamic countries like Saudi your income is totally tax free. If there is a jawaz for it it will reduce the burden on me 1835 views
