Assalamualaikum Sheikh what is the rulling regarding seafood? is seafood like shrimp/prawn halal?

Answer

Wa’alaykum as Salam wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuhu,

Only fish is permissible.

In areas where prawns are regarded as fish, those scholars issue the verdict that it is permissible.

Other scholars claim that prawns are not fish, and hence they say that it is not permissible.
