Scholars differ Food & drink
Scholars differ. Most hold that all sea animals are lawful, because the Quran says that the game of the sea and its food are permitted (5:96). The Hanafi school allows only fish and not other sea animals such as shrimp, though many Hanafi scholars today permit shrimp. Follow the view of the school or scholar you rely on.
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.
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى سَخَّرَ ٱلْبَحْرَ لِتَأْكُلُوا۟ مِنْهُ لَحْمًۭا طَرِيًّۭا وَتَسْتَخْرِجُوا۟ مِنْهُ حِلْيَةًۭ تَلْبَسُونَهَا وَتَرَى ٱلْفُلْكَ مَوَاخِرَ فِيهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا۟ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ ﴿١٤﴾
Él es Quien ha sujetado el mar para que comáis de él carne fresca y obtengáis de él adornos que poneros. Y ves que las naves lo surcan. Para que busquéis Su favor. Quizás, así, seáis agradecidos.
