Are there specific recitations when fish are killed to make them halal or are they halal withou

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Shaykh Sohail Hanif, SunniPath Academy Teacher

For normal meat, we must recite Bismillahi Allahu Akbar before slaughter. In the UK, the fishermen are kuffar. Are there specific recitations when fish are killed to make them halal or are they halal without recitation?

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Wa alaykum al-salam

Fish are excluded from the general rule of slaughtering.

Allah most High says in the Qur’an,

‘Lawful to you is the pursuit of water game and its use for food for the benefit of yourselves and those who travel’ [5:96, Yusuf Ali].

The jurists mention that fish can be eaten without slaughtering. (Radd al-Muhtar, 5:186, Dar li Ihya al-Turath al-‘Arabi)

This means that there is no special ritual required nor must the one gathering the fish be a Muslim.
