Eating shark
Question
Is shark halaal in the Hanafi Mazhab?
Answer
According to the Hanafi mazhab, from all the sea creatures, fish (i.e. pisces) is permissible to consume. Since the shark enters under the category of pisces, it is considered a fish, and hence it is permissible to consume.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
