People Are Fighting Over Whether Shark Meat Is Halal After A Shark Was Put On Sale In A Pakistani Super Store

Pakistanis make sure that they never fail to bring something new to the table. Matlab, har roz koi na koi naya issue hum create karte he karte hain.

Abhi khotay ke gosht se recover kia nahi tha humne that Pakistanis have started fighting over something else

Erm.. Wtf is that display, btw?

This is what nightmares look like in real life.

Who thought it was a good idea to go for this prop and display strategy?

Anyway, moving on to more hotly debated issues… Pakistanis have something new to debate on: Shark meat haram hai ya halal?

I guess the concern is legit. Some of us have been told that carnivorous fish, who can consume humans given the chance, are off limits for the Muslim cuisine.

As expected, people whipped out their knowledge and began giving verdicts on the rather perplexing question at hand.

All seafood is halal

Its halal bcz there is no concept of halal and haram in seafood

Then there were mixed views on the matter.

Shark is halal for all Sunni schools and haram for the Shia Jafari school

Matlab, jawab humain abhi bhe nahi mila.

Its carnivorous and its not halal

LOLOLOL. Good question. Very good question.

And then we received a new piece of information which, tbh, I could have gone without knowing

That fried fish fillets you eat at restaurants is actaully shark.

— NKayy🌟 심장 (@NeeraKolachi) January 15, 2019

WTF!

most of the "fried finger fish" that you eat is from shark farms…. so yeah!

— Ali Waqas Aulakh (@bonbondude) January 13, 2019

The debate is ongoing in Facebook groups and people still haven’t reached a conclusion.

The only thing that makes sense.

Halal aur weight ka kya link hai?

Phir mixed views!

And that proves what?

So after all this maghaz-maari, all I can tell you is that I still don’t know if Shark meat is halal or not. What I can tell you for a fact is iss dafa fish fingers pe hath halkarakhen, kuch pata nahi kya khila rahe hain humain ye log.

On that note, what do you think about this? Is shark meat halal or haram?
