Halal eating

[1searching]

I was speaking with my Imam about dietary restrictions. I understand the major points but I was wondering about some specifics. I understand there are no restrictions on seafood, but my question is about catfish. Since it is a bottom feeder is it considered haraam?

From what I know it is halal but scholars might have differences of opinion regarding it.

 

[ardianto]

Catfish is halal according Shafi'i madhab. But if I am not wrong, catfish is haram according to Hanafi madhab.

It appears there is differences of opinion.


Talking about halal food, I have yet to see a halaal packaged turkey. I really want Turkey!!!!

It seems every fish is halaal except sea-dog and sea pig
