Halal duck?

Question

is duck halal? i know some people told me that duck it swims... and has some parts like a sea creature... like its webbed feet? so its halal because seafood is halal... but someone else told me that it wasn't halal because you have to kill it the way that you kill a chicken...

so im confused...

note: i'm not muslim and i do eat duck halal or not... but theres a restaurant that sells halal but they are confused as to whether or not duck should be halal...

Answer 1

Except For Gabs no one (I've seen) has posted any chapter verse from the the books of islam..

To bad there isn't a web site.. (but well they hide)

I had always believed the laws were much the same as Kosher

Answer 2

Wow now that you mention it I don't know what to think.  I am not Muslim but I have many friends that are and I know some devout Muslims that eat duck, they killed it halal way themselves.  They told me that all birds were ok as long as it was killed halal way.  But I remember someone telling me that web feet animals could not be halal.  but they also told me not all fish were ok. Catfish was not permitted and Salmon was not permitted.  Fish have to have scales and any seafood that was pink or red was not allowed.  I asked my Muslim friend and he was stumped.  If I were you I'd ask this question in the Ramadan section, under holidays, that were the Muslim experts hang out. It would be answered correctly and quick. Good Luck

) Animals that have been clearly and explicitly prohibited in the Qur’an or Sunnah are without doubt Haram, such as a swine, donkey, etc.

2) Animals that are born and live in water are all Haram with the exception of fish. All types of fishes are Halal, with the exception of that which dies naturally in the sea without any external cause. However, if a fish was to die due to some external cause such as cold, heat, being thrown to the shore by the water, colliding with a stone, etc, then it would be Halal.

Allah Most High says:

“Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine…..” (Surah al-Ma’idah, V: 53)

In the above verse, Allah Almighty forbade the meat of all dead animals without differentiating between sea-animals and land-animals. Thus, all sea-animals would also be included in this general prohibition. However, fish has been exempted from this general ruling due to the explicit mention of its permissibility by the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace).

Sayyiduna Abd Allah ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him eternal peace) said: “Two types of dead meat and two types of blood have been made lawful for our consumption: The two dead meats are: fish and locust, and the two types of blood are: liver and spleen.” (Sunan Abu Dawud, Musnad Ahmad and Sunan Ibn Majah)
