3246. Mughīrah bin Abu Burdah, who was of the tribe of Banu 'Abd-Dār, narrated that he heard Abu Hurairah say: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'The water of the sea is a means of purification and its dead meat is permissible.'" (Sahih) Abu 'Abdullāh (Ibn Mājah) said: "I heard that Abu 'Ubaidah Al-Jawād said: 'This is half of knowledge, because the world is land and sea. I have told you about the sea so there remains the land.'"

3246 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي صَفْوَانُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، مِنْ آلِ ابْنِ الْأَزْرَقِ أَنَّ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، وَهُوَ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ، سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْبَحْرُ الطَّهُورُ مَاؤُهُ، الْحِلُّ مَيْتَتُهُ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: بَلَغَنِي عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ الْجَوَادِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «هَذَا نِصْفُ الْعِلْمِ، لِأَنَّ الدُّنْيَا بَرٌّ وَبَحْرٌ، فَقَدْ أَفْتَاكَ فِي الْبَحْرِ وَبَقِيَ الْبَرُّ»

Commentary

The taste of the water of an ocean is different from the common water, so the Companion doubted whether ablution, with this water, is correct or not? Then the Prophet clarified it by this statement. (See Ahādīth no. 386, 387 and 388) Sea animals, whether they die in the sea or outside, are lawful.
