Answer:
Fish sea food slaughter
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Allah says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 16 Surah Nahl verse 14:
It is He (Allah) Who
has subjected the sea to your service so that you may get fresh flesh from it
to eat and bring out of it articles of ornaments, which you wear.
Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 83 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah
A man asked the Messenger of Allah (saws): ‘O
Messenger of Allah (saws), we travel on the sea and take a small quantity of
water with us. If we use this for ablution, we would suffer from thirst. Can we
perform ablution with sea water?’ The Messenger of Allah (saws) replied: ‘Its
water is pure and (even) what dies in it is lawful food.’
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 5.648 Narrated by Jabir
We set out in the army of Al-Khabt and Abu
Ubaida was the commander of the troops. We were struck with severe hunger and the
sea threw out a dead fish the like of which we had never seen, and it
was called Al-'Anbar. We ate of it for
half a month. Abu Ubaida took (and fixed) one of its bones and a rider passed
underneath it (without touching it). (Jabir added:) Abu 'Ubaida said (to us),
"Eat (of that fish)." When we
arrived at
All permissible land and air creatures (except locusts)
must be duely slaughtered for them to be considered lawful food unto the
believers, but there is absolutely no condition in Shariah to slaughter the
sea-creatures, for the Messenger of Allah (saws) declared that even the dead
creatures of the sea are lawful food unto the believers.
Ibn 'Umar reported that the Messenger of
Allah (saws) said, "Two types of dead animals and two types of blood have
been made lawful for us. The types of dead animals are seafood and locusts. The
two types of blood are the liver and the spleen."

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
