Shrimp, a popular and widely consumed shellfish, and is commonly consumed in Muslim-majority countries often raises questions about its permissibility under Islamic dietary laws.
Shrimp is considered halal in Islam, as it falls under the category of seafood, which is generally permissible.
According to the Quran, all types of food from the sea are allowed, whether they are plants or animals, alive or dead.
This is also mentioned in the Holy Quran:
Islamic scholars have interpreted this to mean that seafood, including shrimp, is halal for consumption.
While there are certain types of water animals that are forbidden, such as crocodiles and frogs, shrimp does not fall under these exceptions. Therefore, shrimp is widely accepted as halal by Muslim scholars and is commonly consumed by Muslims around the world.
