Is it permissible to fish using live baits?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

Is it permissible to catch fish with live baits? 

Answer

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

It is not permissible to fish using live bait as this causes undue pain and suffering to the creature.[1]

You may use artificial bait as an alternative to live bait.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
