Ramadan crab hunters : Karachi - ketchim - 07-22-2013
Every morning 13-year-old Rafiq and 11-year-old Hussain set off in make-shift boats from Karachi:
s historical fishermen settlement of Rehri Goth and head for nearby mangrove forests.
While the area's grown-up fishermen hope to catch ever-dwindling supplies of fish, the boys - and others like them -
are after crabs which they can sell in local markets :
to bring home some much-needed income.

I am still confused on this one....halal or not halal?
we never ever ate it in Guyana.....and I still have never eaten it!
i always assumed that all GY Muslims did not eat it.....but over the years i have found out that's not true.
all of the Trini Muslims eat it.

My parents never prepared it ...ever !
I tried tasting and eating way after I came to Toronto....
Nothing to write home about :-[

Muslims are not allowed to eat shell fish or unscaled fish . They are only allowed to eat fish with fins and scales , it says so in the Hadith
Re: Ramadan crab hunters : Karachi - Kwami - 07-23-2013
However they can convert the shellfish and unscaled fish into finned and scaled fish in a similar way that they convert a hindu into a muslim
