Tasmiyyah On Fish
Bhai what would you say to the argument that your taking a life nonetheless. Ghamidi sahabs Argument that you can only take a life with the Izn of Allah makes sense. But why would this izn be relaxed for just the method of killing- it is still killing. I understand how a relaxation could occur in say plants. But why fish- they are not too dissimilar from other animals?
Also in 5:1 أحلت لكم بهيمة الأنعام is specifically about land animals. Fish and vegetables are more of a background thing not in consideration. If go really deep I think meat from land animals has a special status in Abrahamic religions like the sacrifice in judaism with the burn offering and blood etc etc. Whereas fish and vegetables just don’t hold that same symbolism but this might be probing too deep
