Halal Food & drink

Can I eat fish that died by itself?

Short answer

Yes. Sea animals are lawful even when found dead, because the Quran permits the game of the sea and its food (5:96). Scholars also permit locusts, based on the hadith that two kinds of dead animals are lawful: fish and locusts.

Evidence

Quran

أُحِلَّ لَكُمْ صَيْدُ ٱلْبَحْرِ وَطَعَامُهُۥ مَتَٰعًۭا لَّكُمْ وَلِلسَّيَّارَةِ ۖ وَحُرِّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ صَيْدُ ٱلْبَرِّ مَا دُمْتُمْ حُرُمًۭا ۗ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِىٓ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ ﴿٩٦﴾

Os es lícita la pesca y alimentaros de ella para disfrute vuestro y de los viajeros, pero os está prohibida la caza mientras dure vuestra sacralización. Y temed a Alá hacia Quien seréis congregados.
