YOGYAKARTA - Muslims are required to eat halal foods and stay away from haram foods. In order to eat animal meat, animals are required to die by slaughter. However, there are several types of animals that are halal to eat without being slaughtered first. What are the types of animals? Check out the review below.

Animals that can be consumed without being slaughtered are fish and locusts. Why can only fish and locusts be consumed without being slaughtered? To find out the reasons behind the permit to eat fish and locusts without being slaughtered first, see the following explanation.

Quoted from the book Fiqih Islam wa Adilatuhu Volume 4 by Prof. Dr. Wahbah az-Zuhaili (2021: 329), in Islam, slaughter is one of the requirements for food to be eaten or not. This is in accordance with the word of Allah SWT in the Koran.

You can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't.

Meaning: 'Prohibited for you (eating) carrion, blood, pork, (animal meat) that is slaughtered in the name of other than Allah, who is crushed, who falls, is headerd, and attacked by wild animals, except what you had time to slaughter' (QS. Al-Maidah: 3)

From this verse, animals that die without being decided on their respiratory tract and food tract veins are classified as animals that are forbidden to consume. However, if the animal is slaughtered by mentioning basmallah, then the animal can be consumed.

Although it is required to slaughter animals first, fish and locusts are classified as two animals that are halal for consumption even though they are not slaughtered. This is based on hadiths from Abu Hurairah, he explained:

Someone once asked the Prophet salahu Alaihi wa sallam, O Prophet of Allah, we've been on a boat and only brought a little water. If we had ablution with him, then we would have fun. Can we have ablution with sea water? The Prophet salallahu replied, Alahi wa sallam is holy and the carcasses are halal. (HR. Abu Daud no. 83, An Nasai no. 59, and Tirmidzi no. 69)

In addition, it was also explained from the history of Abdullah bin Umar, the Prophet Muhamamd SAW said,

We are fined with two carcasses and blood. The two carcasses are fish and locusts. While the two bloods are liver and runoff. (HR. Ahmad 2:97 and Ibnu Majah no. 3314)

Halal and haram animals to be used as food are things that must be known to every Muslim. Thus, we will not be trapped by ignorance and can live in accordance with the guidance of the Qur'an and Hadiths.
