All other sea creatures are prohibited except what the scholars have defined as a fish (samak) or categorized as a fish. The prohibition of all sea creatures besides the fish is deduced from the Quran and Ahaadith of The Prophet <strong>\ufdfa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allah mentions in The Quran;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&nbsp;And made lawful for you is the prey of the sea and eating thereof.

The Prophet <strong>\ufdfa<\/strong> specifically mentions fish when permitting carrion of the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Messenger of Allah (<strong>\ufdfa<\/strong>) said: \u201cTwo kinds of dead meat have been permitted to us: fish and locusts.\u201d (Ibn Majah 3218)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crab therefore is impermissible according to the Hanafi Madhab as it is not considered a fish.
