Shark-Eating Muslims?

Shark-Eating Muslims? Answered by Shaykh Sikander Hashmi In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful In the Hanafi madhab, all fish are Halal. Sharks are defined as "...any of several fast-swimming, generally large fish...". (MSN Encarta; http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761552860/Shark.html) Since sharks are fish and all fish are Halal, sharks are also Halal. Allama Damiri (RA) has also classified sharks as fish in his work, Hayatul Hayawan. Verily, Allah knows best.
