Mufti of Moscow and chief imam of the Moscow Cathedral Mosque Ildar Alyautdinov explained to socialbites.ca that Muslims can eat seafood, despite the different opinions of theologians on this issue. At the same time, according to Alyautdinov, it is forbidden to eat seafood that has begun to spoil, since human health comes first in Islam.
“There are different opinions on this issue. Most Muslim scientists adhere to the opinion that all living creatures that live in water and are edible for humans are permissible, that is, “halal”. When the Prophet Muhammad was asked about the suitability of sea water for ablution, he answered: “Sea Its water is suitable for ablution, but what dies in the sea [то есть обитает в нем]- halal [разрешено для употребления в пищу]”However, it is important to remember that if seafood begins to rot, such products are prohibited. In Islam, human life and health are very important and anything that can harm it is considered haram,” he said.
