Maeda 96-99
96-YOU ARE ALLOWED THE HUNTING (FISHING) AT THE SEA AND ITS FOOD FOR YOU AND FOR THE TRAVELERS, BUT YOU ARE FORBIDDEN HUNTING ON LAND AS LONG AS YOU ARE IN IHRAM, AND BE PIOUS AND GUARD YOURSELVES FROM THE DISPLEASURE OF ALLAH TO WHOM YOU WILL BE GATHERED
97-ALLAH APPOINTED THE KABBAH, THE SACRED MOSQUE, TO BE PLACES FOR PEOPLE TO UPHOLD THEIR RELIGION, AS WELL AS THE SACRED MONTHS, THE ANIMALS FOR SACRIFICE AND THE TAGS ON THEM, SO THAT YOU MAY KNOW THAT ALLAH KNOWS WHAT IS IN THE HEAVENS AND WHAT IS IN THE EARTH AND ALLAH KNOWS ALL THINGS
98-KNOW THAT ALLAH IS SEVERE IN PUNISHMENT AND THAT ALLAH IS MOST FORGIVING AND MOST COMPASSIONATE
99-THE MESSENGER’S DUTY IS ONLY TO DELIVER THE MESSAGE, AND ALLAH KNOWS WHAT YOU REVEAL AND WHAT YOU HIDE
Allah the Highest is telling us that not all hunting is forbidden for the person in Ihram, but that fishing is allowed. Abu Bakr Al-Sidiq said that “ITS FOOD” is all there is in it. It is argued if this means all the fish throws out and it is dead or what the sea throws out to the shore alive and then dies.
What the sea throws out alive then dies is not different from what we fish out of the sea. What floats on the water dead then whether we catch it in the sea or the sea throws it out, but dies before being caught, can be considered among the dead which is forbidden to eat. I can not advise any one, but for myself I will be very reluctant to eat a fish which died in the sea then floated whether it is caught in the sea or whether it died in the sea then the sea throw it to shore, for I do not know what it died from, infection or poison, or simply old age.
It is narrated in Muslim that Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him sent a company of three hundred men under the leadership of Abu Obidah to the sea. When they got there they found a big whale (Amber) on the shore. Abu Obidah first said: “it is dead, do not touch it”, then he said: “We are Allah’s messenger’s messengers, and we are in the cause of Allah, and we are compelled, so eat”. They kept eating from it for (in one narration 18 day, and in another a month). The Muslims erected two of its ribs and let the biggest camel carrying men pass underneath them. When they got back to Medina, they told Allah’s messengers prayer and peace upon him and we told him, he said: “It is a provision Allah got for you, do you have some of its meat for us to eat?” They sent some of it to Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him who ate it”. (Bukhari & Muslim)
A man once asked Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him: “Allah’s messenger, we sail in the sea, and we carry little water, if we use it for wadoo we will go thirsty, can we used the sea water for wadoo?” Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “Its water is pure and its dead are halal”. (Abu Dawood & Termezi & Ahmed & Nesai)
It is important to note that the food from the sea applies to all of creatures in the sea. Neither Allah the Highest nor his messenger prayer and peace upon him made any exceptions.
Also Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “Two dead and two bloods are permitted for us, the two dead are the fish and locust, and the two bloods are liver and spleen”. (Ahmed & Ibn Magah)
The Arabs when they had a swarm of Locust, they used to hit out at them with sticks or any instrument, and eat what falls dead.
It is not permitted for a Muslim in Ihram to take part in the hunting in land, or to by sending others in Ihram to hunt for him. Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “The catch of the land is Halal for you, as long as you did not hunt it or it has been hunted for you”. (Abu Dawood & Termezi & Nesai)
One of Allah’s messenger’s companions who were not in Ihram caught a Zebra before it was forbidden, and gave its meat to others in Ihram to eat, they did not eat it and they asked Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him who said: “Did any of you point at it or helped to hunt it?” They said: “No”. He said: “Eat it” and Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him ate from it too. (Bukhari & Muslim)
This Hadith means also that any kind of involvement in catching the pray is not allowed during Ihram, even just point it out.
Othman Ibn Afan was in Ihram in a hot day and he had his face covered with a cloth, when the meat of a catch was brought, he said to his companions: “Eat” they said: “Wouldn’t you eat?” He said: “I am not you, this was hunted for me” (Malik)
