The Truth About Oysters: Halal or Haram?

Answered by 

Shaykh Ebrahim Salejee

Q: Are oysters haraam? What about oyster sauce and Chinese and Thai dishes using oyster sauce? What exactly is oyster?

Bismillaah

A: According to us, all water creatures that do not come under category of fish are not permissible to consume.

As above.

Look it up in a dictionary.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
